Ideas for virus simulation without chemicals (can be more appropriate for K-2 & 3-5 ) - Use color switching markers (such as Crayola Color Switchers) or Invisible Ink pens with UV light. Add a number of slips of paper to a cup per student. The original infected student could have paper slips that are marked with invisible ink or a specific type of color changing pen. Students exchange the paper slips as they would the chemicals.
OR use UV pony beads for the simulation (such as https://www.teachersource.com/product/ultraviolet-detecting-beads/light-ultraviolet) - Give the infected person a specific UV bead that turns a specific color (such as red).
