Bolivians try chlorine dioxide for Covid-19, despite Health Ministry warnings

CORONAVIRUS | Bolivians desperate to avoid or cure Covid-19 are ingesting chlorine dioxide, which the senate has approved as a treatment even as the country’s health ministry says people should stay away from it.

Chlorine dioxide is a bleach-like substance that the US Food and Drug Administration has warned consumers can jeopardise health and should not be purchased or drunk as a medical treatment.
