It’s a very promising world first! Scientists at University of Louvain (UCLouvain) have managed to identify the key that allows the Covid virus to attack cells. Better still, they have also managed to close the lock to block the virus and prevent its interaction with the cell, in other words, to prevent infection. This discovery, published in Nature Communications, raises a huge hope: that of developing an antiviral, in the form of an aerosol, which would help to eradicate the virus in case of infection or high-risk contact!
