Low-dose radiation therapy for COVID-19 is based on some key properties of low-dose radiation, such as anti-inflammatory and antithrombosis effects, optimization of the immune system and inhibition of cytokine storm, and reducing the risk of viral mutations that can lead to the emergence of new variants with higher transmissibility and virulence.
