The Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) has responded to reports that palm oil cures Coronavirus.

Debunking the report, the health agency declared that the claim is false, as palm oil does not have the ability to stop the spread of the virus.

The agency further urged Nigerians to adhere only to guidelines from health authorities.

NCDC tweeted;

“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.”
