Docs warn M’sians of Covid-19 cure scams

PETALING JAYA: Blood plasma is no magic bullet against Covid-19 as the treatment is still under trial, say doctors.

As such, the public are urged to not fall for scams by people purportedly selling plasma of recovered Covid-19 patients as a cure against the virus, said the Malaysian Public Health Physicians’ Association.Its president Datuk Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar said there was no need for the public to race to buy plasma of recovered patients or any other products being touted as a Covid-19 cure.
