Baku/08.12.20/Turan: Users of social networks, mainly through Whatsapp, spread false recommendations, allegedly allowing curing COVID-19. Yagut Garayeva, a representative of the Association for the Management of Medical Territorial Subdivisions (TƏBIB), announced this at a briefing at the Operational Headquarters of the Cabinet of Ministers on December 8.

According to her, you can take vitamin supplements, anticoagulants, but some patients need to do this only on the recommendation of a doctor. You cannot take dexamethasone, antibiotics or antiviral drugs on your own, she said. According to Garayeva, the unauthorized intake of these drugs can lead to serious consequences.
