Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Does Povidine-Iodine reduce the amount of virus in the nose and throat when applied via a sinus rinse/mouth wash?;Secondary Objective: Does Povidine-Iodine as a nose rinse/mouthwash reduce transmission of the virus to co-residents? Does Povidine-Iodine reduce the symptom severity in postive individuals as reported by self reported questionnaire via smart phone app? ;Primary end point(s): The primary outcome measure will be the change in Viral load in the two arms as measured by real time PCR.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 0,2,4,7 and 14 of trial period via oral and nasopharyngeal swabs

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Reduced symptom severity in covid-19 positive participants. Symptoms will be measured by a aggregate symptom score collected by smartphone app. Each symptom scored on a visuala visual analogue scale 0-5 (0-No symptoms-5 severe). Reduced transmission of virus as assessed by percentage of household with postivity for covid-19.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 1 to Day 14 of trial period
