A research team at Cape Breton University is hoping to find organic nanoparticles that will kill any COVID-19 that lands on plastic packaging. Safety barriers neededThe challenge is finding a non-toxic polymer that will break down COVID-19 but won't change the essential nature of plastic packaging, said Mason.

Partners at the University of New Brunswick have other partners who can test COVID-19 on the lab's trial results, she said.
