Coronavirus Myth Busters: Stay clear of fake Covid-19 'gyaan' – Here’s all the truth you need to know

Keeping the deluge of fake information in mind, we have compiled a set of COVID-19 myth busters for you.

The deadly coronavirus outbreak has affected over 1,69,562 people and claimed 6,518 lives. As of now, COVID-19 is affecting 157 countries and territories around the world with 1 international conveyance. The most affected country is China, followed by Italy, Iran, Spain, and South Korea.

Currently, there is no cure against the novel coronavirus. As it continues to spread to new regions, people at different locations are taking weird measures and trying out bizarre home remedies to fight the virus. Some of them have no logical explanation whatsoever.

On social media, misinformation on COVID-19 has exploded in the last few weeks. While leading platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTUbe are trying their best to remove misleading content about the virus, fake and unverified information still finds a way to reach millions of netizens. According to a fact-checker, the misinformation on coronavirus is at least 2-3 times more than previous waves of misinformation around diseases and health.

False home remedies, misleading government, and health department advisories are being circulated on WhatsApp and other social media platforms every day.

The barrage of unverified information and remedies have also been amplified by some public figures and organisations with a wide following on social media.

In India, one of the most bizarre ‘treatment’ recommendations have come from the president of Hindu Mahasabha. Swami Chakrapani Maharaj said cow urine and cow dung can be used for treating novel coronavirus disease.

Then a pastor in Pune suggested the application of a 'sacred oil' and said that chanting 'blood of Jesus' 100 times a day can keep coronavirus at bay.
