Nairobi: The coronavirus epidemic that started in China's Wuhan city has engulfed the entire world. People are forced to remain imprisoned in homes to avoid infection. Governments are distributing ration and other essentials to the people at their doorstep. Meanwhile, there are reports of small bottles of liquor being distributed to people along with relief material in Kenya.
Government nod must for investment from these countries
Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko is distributing ration materials among the people. The surprising thing in this is that small bottles of liquor are also being given to people in these packets. In a video on Twitter, Sonko can be heard saying that we are giving small bottles of Hennessy with relief material to our people. He also said that according to research conducted by other health organizations with the World Health Organization (WHO), it has been believed that alcohol is helpful in killing the coronavirus as well as some other viruses.
After this news came to light, a statement issued by WHO said that alcohol does not protect against coronavirus. The release stated that alcohol consumption is associated with the category of circulatory and non-communicable diseases and mental health disorders, which may make a person more susceptible to the coronavirus.
