COVID-19 Virus’ Link That Potentially Increases Brain Infection Risk Found, Claims Study
A recent study has revealed that SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, might be using an unexpected method to infect the brain. Researchers found that mutations in the virus' spike protein allow it to enter brain cells through a "back door," a process that might explain the neurological symptoms observed in some COVID-19 pati...

Understanding How News Works Can Short-Circuit the Connection Between Social Media Use and Vaccine Hesitancy
Research has revealed that people who consume a lot of news on social media are more hesitant about getting vaccinated and more likely to be sceptical of COVID-19 vaccines, while users with higher levels of news literacy have more confidence in COVID-19 shots. Here's how understanding how news works can short-circuit the connection between social m...

Smartwatches Could Help Detect and Track COVID – Here’s What the Research Shows
Wearables like Fitbit analysed the nocturnal respiratory rates of thousands of users of their devices to understand whether this measure could aid COVID detection. An elevated respiratory rate, or breathing rate, has been shown to be a useful biomarker for the early detection of COVID.

New Intranasal Anti-Viral Treatment May Block Covid Transmission: Report
Researchers have developed an intranasal anti-viral treatment for COVID-19 that decreases the amount of SARS-CoV-2 shed from infected animals and limits transmission of the virus.
