LONDON: Britain’s defense laboratory will determine whether insect repellent could be used to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
The Ministry of Defense (MoD) is reportedly hopeful that its insect repellent tests could prove fruitful.
One of its components, citriodiol, is known to be effective at destroying various viral strains. It is hoped that the same product could be used against the COVID-19 strain.
An MoD spokesperson said scientists at the UK’s Defense Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) are investigating the possible treatment.
