That is the whole premise of the OP, that a preliminary study suggests it may be an effective treatment.
It found that one minute liquid suspension tests indicated that Mosi-guard Natural has anti-viral activity against Covid-19 if mixed with the virus, and said that viral studies on latex synthetic skin indicated that Mosi-guard Natural also had antiviral activity against the virus.

Citriodiol is known to kill types of coronaviruses and the defence secretary described it as one of the enhanced Force Health Protection Measures.
In the letter Mr Wallace explains the reasoning behind using the chemical: "Weaker Citriodiol spray solutions form a barrier on the skin and have been found to provide a barrier against variants of the SARS virus similar to that causing the current pandemic.

I'm quite aware of the premise, thank you very much. But the article linked by the OP does not say that. This is what the article says:

Here is what another article says:

Nothing about use as a treatment. Only about use as a disinfectant. It seems that the OP, you, and Trump are confused about what a disinfectant is used for.
If not, please enlighten me as to what a treatment is.
Doesn't surprise me that there is a potential cure right under our nose here in Australia being ignored while we suffer a dictatorship.
If citriodol kills corona viruses as stated in the very excerpt you provided then it could absolutely be classified as a cure if it kills the virus, no?
What does "kill the virus" mean if not end infection?

What the bloody hell does Trump have to do with this Phage?
As alleged leader of our country, quite a lot.
He touted hydroxychloroquine.
He touted oleander.
He touted convalescent plasma as a "breakthrough."
Eucalyptus oil seems right up his alley. Like injecting disinfectants? Or somehow using UV light internally?

Do you think Hydroxychloroquine is a done deal ?
I think Trump tried a "hard sell", out of turn. I think his endorsement of Stella was pretty absurd. Don't you?
I didn't say that.
Nobody with COVID-19 should be allowed to take it even if there's a chance it could save lives ?

Just seen this.
An ingredient in insect repellent can kill Covid-19, a study by the Ministry of Defence has found.
The preliminary research by scientists at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) has found that Citriodiol may kill the strain of coronavirus which causes the virus.
Jeremy Quin, the defence minister, said the latest research “shows that sprays containing Citriodiol, which has been made available to the MoD units engaged in the Covid response, can kill the virus”.
The product is made from oil from the eucalyptus citriodora tree, and can be found in several popular insect repellents, including Mosi Guard.

Be interesting if this can be taken forward.
