Tanzania to import herbal cure against covid19
President of Tanzania
says he will import herbal cure to the coronavirus.
The president said he
is going to send a plane to Madagascar to import herbal tonic which has been
believed to function as a cure for coronavirus.
The drink launched and
promoted as a cure for covid19 and has been marketed after it was tested on
fewer than 20 people on a duration of three weeks, the president chief of staff
Lova Hasinirina told the BBC.
World health
organisation has responded to these claims and confirmed that the organization did
not recommend any vaccine nor did it recommend self-medication with any medicines
as a prevention of the novel coronavirus.
The US national centre
of complementary and integrative health warned against self-medication
including herbal therapies and tea, emphasizing that the best way to avoid
coronavirus is by sheltering in place.
The drink has also
been exported by many other African countries including Congo Brazzaville, Guinea-Bissau…
“I am communicating
with Madagascar, and they have already sent a letter saying they have discovered
some medicine, we will despatch a flight to bring the medicine so that Tanzanians
can also benefit. So as the government we are working day and night” he said.
The country has 480
confirmed cases of coronavirus while Congo Brazzaville has 229 and Madagascar with
135 confirmed cases.
