PETALING JAYA: A UK-based Malaysian doctor has disputed Health Minister Dr Adham Baba’s claim that drinking warm water can prevent one from being infected by Covid-19. She said this in response to the tip Adham gave during a televised interview on the pandemic, which has already claimed the lives of three Malaysians and infected over a thousand others.
“When the virus is in our body, drinking hot water won’t weaken it,” she said, adding there was also no evidence that the acid in one’s stomach could kill the virus.
