Macca, Isaac and Misha are joined live in the studio by Professor, Don Campbell, the Director of Northern Health’s Hospital Without Walls program in Victoria, who’s seeking volunteers for nasal spray trial.

Prof Campbell and a team of researchers from The Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, University of Melbourne and Monash University are now asking volunteers to participate in a study testing the effectiveness of heparin on Covid infections.

The study requires one Covid-positive person from a household, along with a family member who is not infected.

For the study, 400 households are needed in total.

Participants will be given a nasal spray, either heparin or a saline-based solution acting as a placebo.

They will then use the spray three times a day, for ten days.

The hard part for researchers is now finding participants, given many now don’t bother testing themselves for the virus.

Those with the virus need to alert researchers within 72 hours of testing positive.
