The World Health Organisation says eating garlic and regularly rinsing the nose with saline solution will not guard against coronavirus infection (2019-nCoV). Also, it noted that there was no evidence that regularly rinsing the nose with saline solution has protected people from the coronavirus infection. The organisation stressed that there was no evidence that gargling mouthwash can protect people from 2019-nCoV infection. However, this does not mean they protect you from 2019-nCoV infection,” the world health body said. Vaccination against respiratory illnesses is highly recommended to protect your health,’’ the health organisation said.
