Nigerian govt warns against home remedies for covid-19,

By Marlikberry,
The Federal Government has warned Nigerians against home made remedies for COVID-19, saying it could lead to damage of body organs.
Director of Hospital Services, Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) Dr. Adebimpe Adebiyi gave the advice on Wednesday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
She said home remedies such as gargling hot saltwater, taking various vitamins, antibiotics, and others for the prevention and cure of coronavirus may cause adverse health effect.
Adebiyi emphasized that while there might be some “rationale” behind these theories, they could, however, pose serious dangers to the body and cause health complications.
Be careful what you read on social media and send to your friends and loved ones. There are all sorts of inaccurate information out there.

The best thing we can do is maintain our good health habits, eat healthy diets and do lots of exercises when we can. Practice social distancing, maintain top hand hygiene and stay home, unless you need to go out for essential activities, she advised.
