A new research suggested that mouthwashes can kill the COVID-19 virus within 30 seconds in a lab. This conclusion was derived through a study conducted by the scientists at Cardiff University. The study found that mouthwashes which contain at least 0.07% of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) are able to neutralise the virus causing coronavirus. This amount of CPC is present in most of the mouthwashes available over the counter.
