No Longer Worried About Leaving the House, Tantri Kotak Wears Anti-Virus Clothes

Kapanlagi.com - Although the government has started introducing the new normal system, the public is still concerned about leaving the house. This is also felt by Tantri Kotak, considering she also has a baby at home.

"Because I have a baby, I think twice about going out. Maybe my older sibling accompanies me if I need to go shopping. But it feels very troublesome, having to spray and all," said Tantri when met at the ZOYA Viroblock Series event on Friday (26/6/2020).

Recently, Tantri's fear seems to have decreased. The reason is that she now has clothes with a technology called Heiq Viroblock that can kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses like corona or SARS-CoV-2 in just minutes. The ZOYA Viroblock technology itself has been tested in the Swiss Textile Innovator Heiq laboratory and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection & Immunity in Melbourne.

"Because it is virus-proof, I finally decided to try it. When I go out, especially when shopping for the house, I always change clothes. If I wear this outfit, I don't need to change clothes immediately and can still breastfeed. This is really cool," she continued.

1. Soft Material Like Regular Clothing

So far we have often seen PPE clothing that tends to be thick and heavy. But it turns out that ZOYA Viroblock's clothing is different even though it has a similar function. Tantri didn't expect that.

"Turns out the material is the same as usual, very comfortable. I thought it would be thick, anti-virus technology. Turns out it's the same but with protection against the virus. As a mother, I don't worry when I go out. Although not as relaxed, but at least not too afraid. The design is also really cool," said Tantri.

"Hopefully Zoya can make rocker-style clothing that I can wear on stage," she continued jokingly.

Heiq itself is a renowned textile technology development company from Switzerland. And the latest technology they introduced can be considered as cutting-edge and leading innovation to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

"Confirmation of HeiQ Viroblock's antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 is an important achievement. The results of this research are part of our ongoing efforts to help provide textiles with better protection against viruses and contribute to global pandemic mitigation efforts," said Carlo Centonze, Swiss co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of HeiQ Group.

Zoya Viroblock Series is marketed in various products, such as square scarves, bergo masks, long bergo, tees, matching sets, blouses, and dress models. In addition, to support daily activities, there are also Zoya New Normal starter kits such as prayer clothes, prayer mats, washable masks, and washable mask family sets that are specially designed and tailored to meet the needs.

"Zoya Viroblock Series is inspired by lounge wear style applied through collections of positive slogan scarves, instant scarves, khimar, positive slogan tees, matching sets, blouses, and daily dresses that can be used for activities inside and outside the house as a response to the needs of Muslim fashion entering the new normal era," said CEO of Shafira Corporation, Deny Setiawan.
