British scientists have discovered a cheap and practical remedy for the prevention of coronavirus infection. They drew a parallel between an anti-odor product for athletes and the viral nature of COVID-19. It turned out that just a little copper was enough to defeat the virus.

British startup Copper Clothing designs and manufactures fabrics and ready-to-wear, sports uniforms and underwear that have built-in odor protection. It uses the antibacterial properties of copper, which inhibits the growth of microorganisms. This effect has been known since ancient times - dishes, medical instruments and even doorknobs made of copper alloys do not participate in the transfer of pathogenic organisms, because they die before they can move to a living carrier.
