  Können antiseptische Mundspülungen die Übertragung von SARS-CoV-2 bremsen? Im Labor zumindest klappt‘s Können eventuell handelsübliche Mundspülungen das Corona-Übertragungsrisiko senken? Das vermuten zumindest  Toni Luise Meister  von der Ruhr-Universität Bochum und Kollegen aufgrund von Laborexperimenten. Ihre Ergebnisse haben sie im  Journal of Infectious Diseases  veröffentlicht  [ 1 ] . Eine klinische Studie soll folgen. „Unsere Ergebnisse sprechen eindeutig für die Evaluierung ausgewählter Formulierungen im klinischen Kontext, um die Dekontamination und die Gesundheit der Mundhöhle bei Patienten und medizinischem Personal systematisch zu bewerten und so eine Virusübertragung potenziell zu verhindern“, schreiben die Autoren im Artikel.

Female-led Countries Have Had 'Significantly Better' COVID-19 Outcomes

Countries led by women have been “systematically and significantly better” in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, according to an analysis by the University of Liverpool. The study, published on Elsevier’s Social Science Research Network pre-print library, examined the difference by gender of the national leader in the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the first quarter of the pandemic across 194 countries.
