Concerning pig farms, would Far-UVC be efficient against African swine fever (ASF)?

UV222™, emitting Far-UVC, is a powerful weapon against airborne diseases in pig farms

African swine fever is transmitted by close contact, i.e. nose-to-nose contact, bodily fluids, etc. Therefore, although Far-UVC would most likely be effective against the ASF virus itself, its effectiveness in the real world would likely be limited due to the routes of transmission of this disease.

In pig farms, Far-UVC would be more effective against airborne viruses such as PRRSV.
