Dr Akintunde Ogunfeyimi, the chief medical director of Ondo State Specialist Hospital, Okitipupa, has admonished Nigerians against too much consumption of alcohol and herbal concoctions.
He stressed that these alcoholic drinks, particularly local gin cannot prevent or cure Coronavirus.
Ogunfeyimi told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Okitipupa yesterday that many Nigerians resorted to detrimental practices in a bid to prevent or cure the pestilence.
He said, “there was no vaccine yet for the coronavirus, and no scientific proof or research had confirmed that local gin and herbal concoctions could curtail the disease.”
