4 Common myths about COVID-19
- Gargling with warm water protects against COVID-19
The fact: many people mistakenly think that water washes the virus from the throat into the stomach to be killed by the effect of gastric acids; this idea is completely wrong.
- Vitamin C protects against COVID-19.
The fact: there is no scientific evidence recommends that vitamin C is effective against COVID-19; the actual benefit of vitamin C is that it promotes the functional capacity of the immune system against invading microorganisms, but this doesn't guarantee that you will be away from catching COVID-19
- COVID-19 will mutate into more dangerous deadly viral strain.
The fact: it's a rumor; there is no current scientific evidence supporting this concept.
- Hand washing should be with hot water to kill COVID-19
The fact: there is no difference between using hot water or cold water in washing hands; just wash your hands with water (regardless of the water temperature) and soap frequently to avoid catching COVID-19.
