A Politician In India Claimed Mud Baths And Blowing Conch Shells Made Him Immune To COVID-19, Now Tested Positive

India, a politician who advised people to bathe in mud and also blow conch shells in order to cure COVID-19 has now tested positive for coronavirus.

In August, the politician, Sukhbir Singh Jaunapuria, a lawmaker from India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the western Indian state of Rajashtan, shared a video on his Facebook account that soon went viral.

Can be seen in the video, Jaunapuria is seen blowing a conch shell while bathing in mud and biting off leaves from random plants. Jaunapuria advocated that this exercise would “build up immunity against the coronavirus”. He said, “If we do Yoga, mud bath and blow conch shells, no COVID will touch us,” he had earlier said.

In the video, he urged people to get wet in the rain, top using air conditioners and reduce eating food cooked on gas in order to be protected from COVID-19.

Reported that Jaunapuria was among the 24 legislators who tested positive on the very first day of the Parliament’s monsoon session on September 14.

Similar cases had occurred previously where BJP minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, advised people to eat a specific brand of papad- a thin, round flatbread to protect against COVID-19 and he ended up tested positive last month.

Politicians in India have made bizarre, pseudoscientific claims to fight off the novel virus since the virus cases began spiking.
