This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of 3 mouthwashes in reducing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral load in the saliva of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients at 30 min, 1, 2 and 3 h after rinsing. This pilot study included 40 admitted COVID-19 positive patients (10 in each group). Saliva samples were collected before rinsing and at 30 min, 1, 2 and 3 h after rinsing with: Group 1-0.2% Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX); Group 2-1.5% Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ); Group 3-Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) or Group 4 (control group)-No rinsing. Viral load analysis of saliva samples was assessed by Reverse Transcription quantitative PCR. Mean log 10 viral load at different time points was compared to that at baseline in all groups using a random effects linear regression analysis while for comparison between groups linear regression analysis was used. The results showed that all groups had a significantly reduced mean log 10 viral load both at 2 (p = 0.036) and 3 (p = 0.041) hours compared to baseline. However, there was no difference in mean log 10 viral load between any of the investigated mouthwashes and the control group (non-rinsing) at the evaluated time points. Although a reduction in the SARS-CoV-2 viral load in the saliva of COVID-19 patients was observed after rinsing with mouthwashes containing 0.2% CHX, 1.5% H 2 O 2 , or CPC, the reduction detected was similar to that achieved by the control group at the investigated time points. The findings of this study may suggest that the mechanical action of rinsing/spitting results in reduction of SARS-CoV-2 salivary load. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), also commonly known as coronavirus, was declared a pandemic in 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO) presenting with more than 500 million confirmed cases and 6 million deaths worldwide 1 . COVID-19 is characterized by an unpredictable disease course, ranging from asymptomatic to severe, lifethreatening infections 2 . SARS-CoV-2, part of a group of 'enveloped viruses' characterized by an outer lipid membrane 3 , has been detected in various clinical specimens such as saliva, throat, nasopharyngeal (NPS), and oropharyngeal (OPS) swabs, and bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid 4 . Angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2), a cell receptor for SARS-CoV which plays an important role in the entry of the virus into the cell, is highly expressed in the oral cavity and oral epithelial cells 5 . A study by To et al. 6 demonstrated SARS-CoV-2 being detected in 91.7% of the saliva samples obtained from COVID-19 positive patients. In addition, a recent study has further shown that detection rate of SARS-CoV-2 virus in saliva samples can be even higher than that on NPS (93.1%
