SARS-COV-2 is a weak virus inactivated by many disinfectants/ mouthwashes. Challenge is not 'virus inactivation'. That's easy. Challenge is how long will salivary viral loads remain low after mouth rinsing. It needs a long acting mouthwash with persistent action #COVID19 (1/n)
.To minimize #COVID19 spread that happens by coughing, talking etc you need to keep the salivary viral loads low for sufficient time. Only those mouthwashes with strong intraoral attachment mechanisms & persistent action in saliva can do it. This property is "SUBSTANTIVITY" (2/n)
