Since the President’s announcement of a “proven” Covid Cure in its Herbal tonic, Covid cases continue to rise with hospitals struggling to deal with the surge in cases.
Madagascar has bit hit with a four fold increase in Covid cases in the past month with the current standing of cases at 13,000 infections and 162 deaths.
Despite the spike, President Andry Rajoelina stands by the herbal tonic called Covid-Organics, which was launched to great excitement in April.
The drink serves as both prevention and cure to the virus according to its marketing and has been distributed across all schools in the capital in the past four months.
The WHO has warned against unproven remedies to the virus but welcomes traditional remedies that would be backed by scientific evidence.
So far no results of clinical trials have been made public – though that has not stopped stop the tonic from becoming a source of African pride for some. Free shipments have been sent to dozens of African countries.
