Eucalyptus Necklace Covid-19 Claiming Indonesian Minister World News

The Indonesian Minister of Agriculture has been accused by health experts to claim that a necklace made from eucalyptus can help prevent the Covid-19 infection.

Wearing a necklace for 30 minutes can help destroy many of the coronaviruses, Shahurulu Yasin Rimpo said. It was developed by the Department of Agriculture along with roll-on and mini inhalers and will be mass-produced in August, he said.

Faced with criticism from infectious disease experts, the MHLW has since reverted and said the product is not advertised as having the ability to prevent or cure Covid-19. Instead, they are categorized as herbal products, said Fuzzy Lee Juffrey, head of the department’s research and development department, on Monday.
