In this paper, the role of a layer-by-layer nanocoating approach to provide a mechanism of prevention of the spreading of the corona- and other viruses is described. The emphasis is placed on passive prevention techniques that may contribute to curbing the spread of the pathogen, rather than active pharmaceutical measures. It must be emphasized that the continued efforts toward vaccination and pharmacotherapeutic measures are essential and should continue. It is suggested that our non-pharmaceutical prophylaxis measures will aid the pharmaceutical measures in a complementary fashion.
