In the present paper, we propose a scientific and radiation-irradiation method to inactivate Coronavirus using the cobalt-60 gamma-ray treatment technique. In the report, the effective dose of UV radiation and gamma radiation were calculated. To inactive the coronavirus, the required effective UV dose is about 2-5 mJ/cm2. This dose can be capable of suppressing the COVID-19-induced virion. The above effective dose can be generated by a 60Co-gamma source of 1kCi. The 60Co-gamma source is better as compared to the UV radiation because of its penetration and no time limit for the emission as UV is found in the daytime only. Here we presume that the gamma radiation from a Cobalt-60 machine will be better than the X-ray machine because of the high penetration as compared to X-rays and non-production of Bremsstrahlung. Since the X-rays Bremsstrahlung with long wavelength may cause a drastic effect in the living tissue....
