Singapore scientists disclosed the secret of the influence of antiseptic funds based on iodine on the prevention of COVID-19. This is stated in the report published on the website of the National Hospital Singapore.
In 2020, the workers regularly issued medicines with iodine, which they took three times a day. Based on people’s observations, it was concluded that such antiseptics, for example, the yod-based throat spray, reduce the risk of contamination with a coronavirus infection by 24 percent, said Associate Professor of Singapore Hospital Raimond Sit.
In addition, the impact on the hazardous disease of the antimalarial preparation of hydroxychlorochine was noted. The respondents who took it once a day decreased the risk of infection by 21 percent.
The positive effect of the reception of these preventive funds is noted even with a compact residence of people.
At the same time, scientists indicate that iodine and hydroxychloroquine are not a complete treatment of COVID-19. They only serve as an additional measure to prevent the dissemination of the disease, especially in places with special conditions, for example, in penitentiary institutions and refugee camps.
