Which the World Health Organization (WHO) named it as COVID-19 infection while communicating with the media [2].

In any case, a couple of cases in china indicated side effects of COVID-19 however were tested negative for the disease.

It is the right of of society to know the fantasies and realities about Covid so as to lessen the frenzy and make the best possible preparatory moves for our security against the Covid [3].

MYTHS AND FAKE NEWS RELATED TO CURES, DRUGS AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES
First let us address perhaps the greatest fantasy that Hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine, sedates that are utilized for patients experiencing intestinal sickness and some other immune system illnesses like rheumatoid joint inflammation, lupus erythematosus and so on, and by and large viewed as protection as well as remedy for COVID-19. Different pioneers had supported the medication without adequate logical or real tests also, prompting mass hoardings of the medication and redirecting the medication from the individuals who are in desperate need of it towards its use for treating COVID-19. This prompted fears of overall deficiency of Hydroxychloroquine. Public supports by certain political heads of the medication additionally prompted unapproved individual utilization of the medication by nonspecialists that prompted further deaths. Indeed, even WHO had halted clinical preliminary tests of the medication referring to it that it didn't have any clinical advantages, nor decrease passings or have benefits amongst the moderately sick.
• One fantasy that has been making headlines since the start of the pandemic until even now is that, utilization of liquor, can fix the illness. Indeed, liquor based hand sanitisers function admirably in purifying the skin, however the equivalent cannot be inferred if it was consumed. Afterall, hand sanitisers were not implied for human utilization by ingestion in any case; notwithstanding, the numerous individuals who have succumbed to the deception and have burned-through the liquor based sanitisers accepting the fact that it will lessen the impact of the sickness, however oh dear, an incalculable number have sadly passed on as a result of its utilization. The WHO website even cautioned against the utilization of liquor, which can be detrimental to a healthy wellbeing [4]. • Another aspect of liquor based sanitiser utilization scam is that of infusing or consumption/ devouring different disinfectants like dye and chlorine. There has been countless instances of direct utilization or infusing dye and chlorine. Such type of utilization is seriously destructive to the body, and can harm tissues, veins and organs often prompting even death, Indeed, the use of dye and chlorine on the skin is unsafe and harming, particularly in the event that it enters the mouth, eyes or other fragile parts of the body. • The truth that numerous patients experiencing COVID-19 symptoms additionally have pneumonia has created an unexpected problem of the previous illness has prompted fake cases of immunizations against pneumonia, for example, the pneumococcal antibody and Haemophilus flu type B (Hib) immunization, giving invulnerability against the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Nonetheless, the infection is a moderately new strain that needs its own antibody, which scientists are hustling to create. The SARS-CoV-2 infection cannot be insured against by utilizing existing antibodies.
However, WHO actually suggested for inoculating and immunizing against respiratory ailments as an additional safety measure. • Medical work force fills in as a motivation to others in taking preventive measures, and seeing them wearing veils (facemasks) empower others to follow the equivalent. Wearing covers (face masks) is exceptionally supported, with punishments being applied in numerous spots or countries for the individuals who do not follow the standards.
While the facts confirm that wearing masks decrease the chances of getting the infection; it is a confounded conviction from the generally supported practice that wearing covers or masks will ensure protection from COVID-19 infection. Dispensable and fabric covers, shield wearers from beads and other such body liquids that can spread the illness, however they offer little insurance against aerosolized particles. Different masks or covers like the N95 covers offer a more noteworthy level of protection assurance. Notwithstanding, the fact that no veil can offer an ensured anticipation of the illness. At any rate they should be worn alongside the practice of other preventive measures [5].
Another worry that has transformed into fantasy is that the clinical work force that wear face masks or covers for long periods are at a heightened danger of CO 2 accumulation or oxygen deficiency, however none of these are valid. Appropriately and firmly fixed covers give adequate breathing capacity to the wearer with no danger of oxygen deficiency or inebriation of CO 2 . However, WHO does advise against wearing covers while practicing as it might prompt extreme perspiration thus, prompting the development of organisms inside the veil, yet keeping a base distance of 1 meter against others is beneficial. • Emergence of COVID-19 had created interest in measures like washing and flushing nostrils with salt water as a preventive measure or even a potential fix to free the upper respiratory track of the infection. While there is some confirmation that such exercises may lessen certain side effects and help in smoother recuperation; no outcomes have emerged demonstrating that it can fix or decrease chances of COVID-19 disease. • Over the months there has been a pattern of individuals posting via online media outlets ascertaining that utilization of different natively concocted cures, for example, ginger, garlic, Vitamin C, turmeric, sound and fundamental oils and so forth would all be able to fix COVID-19. Another such case incorporates fake WhatsApp sent messages asserting that the illness is totally treatable utilizing such custom made foodstuffs and straightforward cures. It is especially amongst those personalities with less fortunate foundations that lack information or those having a place with more seasoned age groups who are not acquainted with innovation and effectively succumb to such cases. The majority of these foodstuffs may really be useful for the human wellbeing. However, they do not prevent the infection nor its transmission. Therefore, spreading such deceptions is not just aimed at patients that depend on such measures as opposed to settling on proper clinical consideration. • Similar to the phony news spread on home cures, another example is that different forms of medication like homeopathy, Ayurveda, Unani and so on or exercises like practicing yoga can help one free oneself of the COVID-19 burden. Aside from these legends being spread around, a significant number of them have even been embraced by individuals in compelling positions, which is more destructive than being spread as simple bits of gossip. They may profit the human body in some way. Numerous and individuals with counterfeit practitioner trainings regularly sell faulty materials asserting them to be solutions for COVID-19; to trick clueless individuals or casualties [6].
