Researchers developing nasal spray to combat COVID-19 | Connect the Dots

Researchers believe they have come up with a novel way to stop the spread of coronavirus: a nasal spray. Let's connect the dots. The spray is not a vaccine or even a drug to treat COVID-19 instead it blocks the body from absorbing the virus. It has been developed by an international team of scientists and testing is still in the early stages. Right now, the researchers say they have successfully used it on ferrets, which may seem odd, but the animal is often used to test treatments for human respiratory diseases.
