Indian doctors have urged people not to cover themselves in cow dung and urine as a treatment for Covid, saying it risks spreading the disease faster. They believe feces from a cow - a holy animal to Hindus - will boost their immune systems, helping to both prevent and cure Covid. Others are coming to shelters such as Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul Vishwavidya Pratishthanam, a school run by Hindu monks near Ahmedabad, to undergo cow dung 'therapy'. Gautam Manilal Borisa, a manager at a pharmaceuticals company and frequent visitor, insisted to reporters that bathing in cow dung had cured him of Covid when he caught the virus last year. India's daily coronavirus cases rose by 329,942, while deaths from the disease rose by 3,876, according to the health ministry.
