BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - It looks like a tanning bed for a hospital room but instead of warming your skin, itâs killing viruses, including the novel coronavirus.
The Total Room Ultraviolet Disinfectant, better known as TRU-D, bears a vague resemblance to Rosie, the cleaning robot from The Jetsons.

“With the coronavirus pandemic raging through much of 2020, we knew we would receive some exceptional entries, but we’ve been astounded by some of the things we have learned about the people of Gwent,” he said. “It’s been a distressing year and it’s heartening to see how so many have rallied round to help others.” He also paid tribute to people who have given their time and energy over many years to help make Gwent a better place. “The city of Newport and our towns and villages are full of unsung heroes,” he said. “We hope the Pride of Gwent Awards will shine a light on some of them.”
