Is Povidone Iodine Helpful in COVID-19?
Povidone-iodine (iodine) is used to rinse the nose or mouth. Povidone-iodine has been shown to kill viruses with direct but prolonged contact in laboratory tests. But when applied to humans, no preventive or therapeutic effect has been demonstrated. So povidone-iodine is not useful for COVID-19.
