Osage Casinos of Oklahoma has announced it will install an air purification system it says can kill almost 100 percent of the Covid-19 virus. The system known as Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization has already been installed at properties in Tulsa, Ponca City, Skiatook, and Sand Springs.
“At Osage Casinos, the health of our guests and staff is an extremely high priority, and I’m proud of our team for continuing to innovate,” said CEO Byron Bighorse in a press release. “We’ve moved quickly from day one to institute new procedures and software that help reduce the spread of Covid-19, and this is another crucial addition to that mission.”
A third-party lab showed the new system eliminates the virus at a rate of 99.4 percent on stagnant surfaces, according to a press release. The system was also found to kill MRSA, E. Coli and mold spores. The operator said the technology has been used by the White House and Mayo Clinic.
