WE DID NOT ENDORSE ANY MADAGASCAR TONIC FOR TREATMENT OF COVID 19----ECOWAS

ECOWAS has denied endorsing Madagascar's tonic for coronavirus - The association also denied that it ordered the tonic for the treatment of the virus

ECOWAS said it can only support and endorse products that have been shown to be effective through scientific study

ECOWAS in a statement on Thursday, May 7, said: “Our attention has been drawn to a story making the headlines that claims ECOWAS has ordered a package of Covid Organics (CVO) medicine from a third country.

 “We wish to dissociate ECOWAS and its health institution, West Africa Health Organization (WAHO), from this claim and to inform the general public that we have not ordered the said CVO ," ECOWAS added.

World Health Organization has ruled out the claim by Rajoelina's, that a herbal tonic produced in the country can cure coronavirus patients.

The dismissal is coming days after several media had reported that Madagascar is curing Covid-19 cases with the herbal tonic and is the reason the country has had a 92% recovery rate out of its 128 cases.

 The country has recorded 128 coronavirus cases, and 92 out of that number have recovered, leaving 36 active cases. Also, no death has been recorded in the country. Coronavirus:
