HONG KONG (Reuters) - Researchers at a Hong Kong university say they have developed an antiviral coating which could provide 90 days of 'significant' protection against bacteria and viruses such as the one causing COVID-19.

"These places are frequently touched, and, at the same time, serve as a very effective medium for transmission of diseases," said HKUST Adjunct Professor Joseph Kwan, one of the chief researchers in the team that developed the product. The coating was approved for official and mass consumer use in February, and will hit Hong Kong stores next month.
