The mister, at a cost of $1,083 per unit, emits a Coronavirus-killing chemical that is safe to humans and can even be used around food at a lesser concentration, according to the Seminole County School District. Dove said the mister will disinfect schools at night, but custodians will use a cleaning spray and cloth to clean the schools during the day.
