Shares of Braveheart Investment Group plc (LON: BRH) today surged 15.2% after the company announced that it could start selling a new antiviral face mask that can kill the coronavirus COVID-19 by the end of the year.
Investors cheered the news given the recent flurry of activities at Pharm2Farm (P2F), a Braveheart investee company, which created a textile coating with nanoparticles that have long-lasting virucidal properties.
Braveheart revealed that it has final test results from two independent labs showing that the masks have a ‘kill rate’ of over 90% that can last up to seven hours, hence, qualifying for ISO 18184 certification.
