Saline nasal irrigation (SNI) is a clinically established treatment that has been used to manage upper respiratory infections and allergies; there is also some indication that it may be effective in the setting of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). The possible advantages of SNI include the following benefits due to the well-known antiviral impact of sodium chloride (NaCl) and the mechanical cleansing effect arising from the irrigation method. First, there will most likely be a decrease in COVID-19 infection rates; second, illness severity will be lowered; and third, community transmission will be mitigated. Despite the need for more concentrated research into these aspects, public health organizations should emphasize alternate infection mitigation measures such as SNI in light of the ongoing COVID-19 problem, low global vaccine supply, and the rapid introduction of SARS-CoV-2 variants.

盐水鼻腔冲洗 (SNI) 是一种临床确立的治疗方法，用于治疗上呼吸道感染和过敏；也有一些迹象表明，它在 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 环境中可能有效。SNI 的可能优势包括以下因氯化钠 (NaCl) 的众所周知的抗病毒作用和冲洗方法产生的机械清洁效果而带来的好处。首先，COVID-19 感染率很可能会下降；其次，疾病严重程度会降低；第三，社区传播将得到缓解。尽管需要对这些方面进行更集中的研究，但鉴于持续的 COVID-19 问题、低的全球疫苗供应以及 SARS-CoV-2 变体的快速出现，公共卫生组织应强调 SNI 等替代感染缓解措施。
