Specialist Dr. Sanath Hettige says he was able to introduce a cap that could kill the virus to control the spread of the covid 19 virus.

He told the BBC that the use of a chemical-resistant hat could reduce the risk of the virus entering the airways, infecting the head, neck and forehead.

Specialist Dr Sanath Hettige previously introduced drug-using papaya leaves to control dengue and won the Presidential Award in 2016 for his outstanding discovery in medicine.
