The Nigeria Center for Disease Control, NCDC has reacted to
reports that drinking palm oil can stop the spread of Coronavirus.
Reports had emerged a few days ago that drinking palm oil
could stop a patient of COVID-19 from infecting others.
However, reacting, NCDC described the claim as false.
The agency in a post on its Twitter page on Thursday urged
Nigerians to discard such reports and adhere only to guidelines from health
authorities.
The tweet read: “The claim that drinking palm oil can stop
the spread of #COVID19 is FALSE
“To protect yourselves and loved ones from #COVID19 please
adhere to guidance from public health authorities and avoid the spread of false
information.”
Meanwhile, NCDC on Wednesday confirmed 196 new cases of
COVID-19 in Nigeria.
This brings the total number of cases in Nigeria to 1, 728.
