Mouthwash kills COVID-19 within 30 seconds of contact

Nov 17 2020

Studies from Cardiff University have found that mouthwash kills COVID-19 within the first 30 seconds of contact.

Safe to say that many people will be using mouthwash more often in addition to washing their hands, wearing face masks and sanitising, as part of their COVID-19 prevention routine.
