Last year, Baba Ramdev had claimed that his Patanjali Ayurveda had developed Coronil medicine to treat Covid-19 patients. He had also claimed that Coronil was approved by the Indian government and the World Health Organization (WHO). Ramdev also said that ‘Coronil’ is highly effective in boosting immunity and controlling Covid-19. However, later, WHO issued a clarification saying it had not given any approval to traditional medicines to treat Covid-19.
