Abstract

The objective of research work is to test the antiviral properties of preprepared multilayer nano - and microfibers composite improved with bioactive compounds (propolis and betulin) against SARS-CoV2 using protocol modified from ISO 18184 (Test method of antiviral activity on porous products (textiles)) and TCID50 method for the determination of virus titer.
