Good evening fellow Ghanaians, am John a Biomedical Scientist,there is a news of using local gin or akpeteshi as a prevention measure again the new triant Coronavirus. As a Biomedical scientist, I will like to discourage my people not to try this as a control measure against this virus, because laboratory has proven that akpeteshie have the percentage of 40 alcohol and around. This virus can survive, replicate and infect the host cells from 0-69% alcohol. The 70-94% alcohol can inhibit the replications,infection and can kill the virus. Coronavirus is a single stranded RNA with uncoated protein capsid and can not survive 24 degrees temperature and above. Continue drinking water that is not in the freeze for entire day or water with lemon juice, regular hand wash, have cover nose, hands gloves and also continue to read psalm 91.
