Studies from Cardiff University have found that mouthwash kills COVID-19 within the first 30 seconds of contact.
In a clinical trial using only Dentyl-branded mouthwash, a team led by Professor David Thomas published the study, which is yet to be peer-reviewed but shows rather promising results.
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.

Debates regarding the controversial decision to impose mask-wearing during childbirth have emerged around the world after the intense trauma caused during the process.
Locally, a petition of more than 1,200 signatures was created to appeal for the removal of mask-wearing during childbirth for women who test negative and the introduction of rapid-testing for women who go into labour spontaneously.
The argument being made by health practitioners is that situations of false negatives could occur, where the damage cause to medical staff could be irreparable especially for professionals such as midwives and mask-wearing would ultimately protect the staff, the mother and the baby.
