Coronavirus: Coast residents wake up in the night to drink false cureA screenshot of one of the messages asking people if they have tried the ‘cure’. [Standard Digital]A false coronavirus cure pitch, believed by so many, on Sunday woke up sleepy Coastal Kenya. This loosely translates to "the cure to Coronavirus is black tea." Most said they had received phone calls a few hours after midnight with a chorus alarm asking them to drink sugarless black tea before sunrise to be safe from Covid-19. It is not the first time such kind of a myth has been spread across the coast regarding the Coronavirus outbreak.
