Medicinal tea ‘help with’ COVID-19
There is no evidence of tea curing or alleviating the symptoms of COVID-19. In fact, according to the World Health Organization, there are no medicines that have yet been shown to prevent or cure COVID-19. A weekend news report in the Sunday Life quotes Basile ‘G-Star’ Sery – who was selling medicinal tea on Facebook – telling its reporter that it can "aid" people suffering from COVID-19. Sery is also quoted saying "Coronavirus is mucus blocking the oxygen supply and the tea can flush out the mucus… It can help with coronavirus because it’s an anti-inflammatory. It’s the same as you’ll find in health shops."
