Got Covid Despite Taking Best Ayurvedic Immunity Boosters: Ayush Minister

Calangute, 18 Oct 2020: 

Union Ayush minister Shripad Naik said on Saturday that he couldn’t escape Covid-19 despite taking ayurvedic immunity-boosters. “Despite taking the best of ayurvedic medicines and boosting my immunity, I was still infected by the disease, as I came in contact with a large number of people to help them during the lockdown,” Naik, who recently recovered from Covid, said. “People need to continue taking the utmost care — wear masks and maintain social distance to minimise the chances of getting infected.”

He was speaking after felicitating Covid warriors from the Candolim primary health center and Calangute residency care centre.

“The Covid warriors, putting their families and their own lives at risk, worked to care for Covid-19 positive patients,” he said. “We have to appreciate that and thank them for that.”

“If the Covid warriors had not responded and worked as they did, the situation would have been much worse now,” he added.“We have managed to control it through their efforts.”

Calangute MLA and minister for waste management Michael Lobo said that almost all of the 1,106 patients admitted in the Calangute Covid care center have been cured. “Covid warriors have given the best care and best facilities, for which we want to thank them,” he said. The Times Of India
