Drinking alcohol does not fight the novel coronavirus, and in people who are already infected with the novel coronavirus and are experiencing symptoms, drinking alcohol may lead to worsening of fever and cough. People who drink alcohol are also somewhat limited in terms of medication because alcohol and certain medications can have some adverse reactions, so drinking alcohol is not recommended as a way to fight the novel coronavirus. Alcohol has the effect of inactivating the novel coronavirus, but it is limited to 75% alcohol, and for usual consumption of wine with a concentration of less than 75%, it does not have the effect of inactivating the novel coronavirus. If the concentration of alcohol is greater than 75%, it does not inactivate the coronavirus, and the inactivation of alcohol is limited to soaking or wiping the surface of the object, which is limited to external use, and cannot be taken internally to fight against the new coronavirus.
