Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) advice for the public: Myth busters
Everywhere you turn, new theories and tips are surfacing on COVID-19. Some of these are valid and accurate while others are not. The World Health Organization has compiled a list of myths with their truths, that is both important and interesting to read, including:
- There are currently no drugs licensed for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19
- Adding pepper to your soup or other meals DOES NOT prevent or cure COVID-19
- COVID-19 IS NOT transmitted through houseflies
- Spraying and introducing bleach or another disinfectant into your body WILL NOT protect you against COVID-19 and can be dangerous
- You can recover from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Catching the new coronavirus DOES NOT mean you will have it for life.
Read about these, and many others, here.
