KJ Apa and Camila Mendes are right to be wary of swapping spit amid the pandemic. But how exactly is Hollywood handling those steamy make out scenes? Apa shared a video so we can see just how weird things are and you have to see it.
this week in which he gave his followers an inside look at one of the safety measures the show's cast members are taking to prevent the spread of the coronavirus on set.
“Our new normal is washing our mouths before every take of a make-out scene,” Apa captioned the video in which he and costar Camila Mendes toss back small cups of what is presumably mouthwash. Then they swish the liquid in their mouths for precisely one minute. About halfway through, an onlooker tells them they are “30 seconds in.” Then, 20 seconds later, the same person says they have “10 seconds to go.” When the time is up, Apa and Mendes both spit the liquid into small plastic bags..
The actors are right to be wary of swapping spit right now. Experts believe that COVID-19 spreads mainly through respiratory droplets produced when someone coughs, sneezes, or talks, . Needless to say, kissing allows respiratory droplets to transfer directly between two people’s mouths, making virus transmission all the more likely. So does a pre-kiss mouthwash gargle really make a difference?. Therapeutic mouthwashes contain active ingredients that kill bacteria and help reduce related bacterial conditions, like plaque, gingivitis, cavities, and bad breath. Some therapeutic mouthwashes require a prescription.
It’s unclear what type of mouthwash Apa and Mendes were using in the video, and there is no current evidence that mouthwash would effectively stop the spread of COVID-19 from one mouth to another during a kiss. Remember that respiratory droplets can also spread from nose to nose or nose to mouth, particularly when two people are within six feet of each other. It’s safe to bet that for their onscreen kiss, Apa and Mendes will be much closer than that.
