Rumor identification: Chewing garlic cloves cannot eliminate the new coronavirus. Rumor Analysis: 1. Garlic is rich in proteins, minerals and fats, among which the therapeutic component is allicin. Some people believe that allicin has a variety of biological functions such as anti-inflammatory, blood pressure, blood fat, platelet agglutination inhibition, cancer prevention and anti-virus. 2. Although garlic has certain health functions such as bactericidal and antibacterial, and there are substances to kill viruses, the current research on garlic basically stays at the stage of animal models or in vitro tests. There is a lack of evidence from in vivo and clinical trials, and there is no evidence that eating garlic can prevent the new pneumonia virus. Special Note: There are no specific drugs for novel coronaviruses. Treatment is based on symptomatic treatment, active prevention and treatment of complications, treatment of underlying diseases, and prevention of secondary infections. In terms of prevention, it is recommended to avoid going to crowded public places, wear masks when going out; wash hands regularly and maintain hand hygiene; keep windows open and the environment clean at home and workplace, etc.
