The purpose of this innovation is to provide air filtering for any enclosed space, with a means of diffusing and filtering microbial particles such as viruses, germs, mould spore and fungi, whilst also distributing antimicrobial solution into the free air of the outer enclosed space. The idea of the device is for it to be positioned in a room, such as a restaurant or office space, andover the heads of the patrons or occupants of that space, so as to fiter out airborne viral particles. As a consequence of the COViD-19 pandemic, the air within any endosed space in which a number of people gather, becomes a risk of contamination to those sharing that space. Research shows that SARS-CoV-2 virion can remain airborne within aconfined space for between 30-180 minutes. Other virion, bacteria, fungi and mould present in the air areequally treated by the diffuser.HEPA filter Air flow out Duct Antimicrobial solution reservoir Air flow in Powered fan Diagram of "CORONA CATCHER" Air Diffuser Device
