Wouldn’t it make sense to install UV lights in bathrooms? Over doors and possibly on door handles? I’ve seen wearable UV lights, but I don’t see it being worn by frontline personnel.
We have seen social distancing indicators, plexiglass dividers and masks become commonplace. I feel like UV light should also be more commonplace, but it isn’t. Why not?

UV light damages sensitive tissues – like the retinas – for the same reasons it is so good at sanitizing things. It would not be good thing to have sanitizing UV-C light everywhere, as it would cause harm to the people it was trying to protect.
I’ve never seen a wearable UV sanitizer before for this reason – not all UV light is _sanitizing_ UV light, so it is possible those wearable UVs are not the kind of light that does any good.
