Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong says that it is unfortunate that there is a lot of misinformation circulating about home remedies for COVID-19.

Doctor Fong highlighted this when questioned if home remedies are resulting in people arriving late or even dead when taken to the hospital.

He says remedies are nothing new but now it has become a louder voice during the pandemic.

Doctor Fong says we have not progressed much when it comes to misinformation
