Tanzania received its first shipment of an herbal mixture on Friday that the Madagascar government says cures COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.
Several African nations have expressed interest in the alleged remedy, which is known as Covid-Organics.
“Tanzania today received support from Madagascar’s coronavirus medicine,” government spokesman Hassan Abas said on Twitter.
The drink is derived from Artemisia, a plant with proven efficacy in the treatment of malaria, and other indigenous herbs.

Madagascar’s official drug control agency has not approved the sale of beverages in the country.
However, the state has granted a temporary authorization for it to be sold, a scientist authorized by the government to speak about tea on a local television program said on Friday.
Tanzanian President John Magufuli has been criticized for downplaying the severity of the coronavirus.
