\n WINDHOEK \u2013 The Namibian government is warning its citizens not to trust claims on social media<\/a> that elephant dung can cure COVID-19, as coronavirus infections rise more rapidly.<\/p>\n

Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism spokesman, Romeo Muyunda, told Reuters the government had observed that elephant dung was increasingly being touted as a COVID-19 cure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen on social media people selling elephant dung at exorbitant prices. There is a whole hype around it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Health Minister Kalumbi Shangula said COVID-19 currently has no known cure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf anybody claims as such, it must be treated as a false claim,\u201d he told The Namibian news<\/a>paper.<\/p>\n

Some traditional healers say elephant dung has healing properties including for treating headaches, toothaches and blocked sinuses, but claiming it can cure COVID-19 is a new trend.<\/p>\n

The southwest African nation, which initially won praise for containing the spread of the coronavirus, is now seeing a much faster increase in new infections.<\/p>\n

Its capital Windhoek recently overtook harbor town Walvis Bay as the virus\u2019s epicenter and it now has 4,344 confirmed cases and 36 deaths, according to the latest official tally.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
