Use of chlorine dioxide in SARS-CoV-2 treatment
Abstract
The Chlorine dioxide is a chemical compound which over the years has been used as an industrial water disinfectant treatment. Multiple cases of people intoxicated by the use of chlorine dioxide as a treatment to SARS-CoV-2 have now been reported. Some of the most common diseases are respiratory failure, liver failure and even death. There is no scientific evidence that supports the use of chlorine dioxide as a treatment to SARS-CoV-2.
