AFAIK: It will, preferably combined with high humidity. I use it in an improvised "virological lock" in our hallway.
While elaborating/ writing this a few weeks ago:
Coronavirus and homemade tools
I found a handful research reports from non-affiliated labs in a fairly narrow search on the "Interweb".
Didn't save them, though.
Conclusion was: It's effective, even at low ppms, preferably at 50% rel humidity or higher.
This might be a good and easy start:

and this video:
Caveat: Ozone has some bad side effects to humans apart from killing viruses, too...
While producing ozone outta air with a corona-discharge unit, you also get N2 as a by-product,
which can be irritating/ harmful to your respiratory system.
UV units doesn't have this unwanted trait.
Personally I wouldn't enter a room under treatment. No point in getting worse off by the cure, right?
I wait at least an hour before entering, given that ozone has an assumed 30 min decay time in household air.
I'm not saying this is some wonder cure against all viruses, I just happened to have a free unit lying around - and found it could be used.
So I figured - what harm can it do? - and could it perhaps prevent some?
I don't know for sure. Guess the future won't show that either - but at least I tried.
Just my 2 cents and YMMV - use your good sense for your own protection.
Cheers, Johan
