A well known antimicrobial, Nitric Oxide, has been found to rapidly reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral load, knocking it down by 95% within 24 hours, and 99% within 72 hours, according to a recent study by researchers funded by England's NHS foundation trust and SaNOtize Research & Development Corporation - a Canadian biotech company currently conducting Phase II trials of a nitric oxide nasal spray.

• mean viral load was significantly lower by a factor of 16.2
• lower viral loads may be beneficial in the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 transmission
• accelerated viral clearance may reduce symptom duration, decrease infectivity period, reduce hospital admissions, and lower disease severity.
