BBCovid: COVID-19: Nasal and Salivary Detection of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus After Antiviral Mouthrinses
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Given the current lack of effective COVID-19 treatment, it is necessary to explore alternative methods to contain the spread of the infection, focusing in particular on its mode of transmission. The modes of person-to-person transmission of SARS-CoV-2 are direct transmission, such as sneezing, coughing, transmission through inhalation of small droplets, and transmission through contact, such as contact with nasal, oral and eye mucous membranes. SARS-CoV-2 can also be transmitted directly or indirectly through saliva. The use of antiviral mouthrinses may be used as adjunctive therapy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change from Baseline amount of SARS-CoV-2 in salivary samples at 7 days [7 days]
Quantitative PCR experiments will be performed and a quantitative analysis of the salivary samples will be made
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change from Baseline amount of SARS-CoV-2 virus in nasal samples at 7 days [7 days]
Quantitative PCR experiments will be performed and a quantitative analysis of the nasal samples will be made
