Can mouthwash really kill the COVID-19 virus?
Recent research supports the idea that Mouthwash may be able to kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus, also known as COVID-19. due to COVID-19 virus It is an infection that has an outer shell encased in it. The cell membrane of this virus attaches to other cells in the body and multiplies.

If we destroy the outer membrane of this virus It will make it possible to kill the virus easily. and may help slow the spread of the virus to spread to other organs in the body more slowly

with evidence showing that Ingredients found in mouthwash Affects various membrane-bound viruses such as

- influenza virus (influenza)
- herpes virus (herpes simplex).
- other corona virus

however This research has not been tested. with a new strain of virus at present, such as COVID-19, and is also an in vitro experiment It is not an experiment with oral viruses. Therefore, there may be some speculation. in terms of reaction And still need to get more experimental studies.

In addition, scientists also commented that that mouthwash not efficient enough to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus compared to How to wash your hands or wear a mask as usual It also does not recommend the use of mouthwash for the purpose of preventing COVID-19. alone
