Abstract
The covid-19 pandemic is a global virus outbreak which is a problem that must be addressed as soon as possible. This study aims to develop a sterilization booth that functions as an effort to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus. This tool has a way of working by spraying disinfectant made from herbs, and the advantage of using ultraviolet light to increase immune function. This tool will also convert the disinfectant liquid into the mist (vapor) so that it will be more hygienic and efficient, and safe when exposed directly to the human body. Research and development methods are research methods used to produce certain products and test the effectiveness of these products. The manufacture of this sterilization booth is divided into two stages during the research and development process, namely, we have to make a modular specification for the room and make a modular specification for the sterilization system. Then during the two-stage process, three processes must be passed, namely gathering information and product concepts, developing product prototypes, and implementing the product. The result of the development of this research was the creation of a sterilization booth made from herbal disinfectants with ultraviolet light. Based on the results of the implementation of the study, the sterilization room developed as a whole was feasible and effective to be used as an effort to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus. The novelty of research from this sterilization booth is the development of steam technology, herbal-based disinfectants, and the use of ultraviolet lamps.
