As we learn more about the virus that causes COVID-19, new information is coming at us fast. Unfortunately, so is misinformation. To combat that, the World Health Organization has created a Myth-busters page to address some of the rumors. A hot bath will relax you, but no, it won’t help fight the coronavirus. Add garlic to your food for its flavorful properties, sure, but don’t expect it to prevent infection with the new coronavirus.
You can download shareable graphics to help fight the spread of rumors.
