COVID-19 (coronavirus) has been on the forefront of news media globally with infection rates and death tolls that shake even the strongest to their core. Many countries are still quarantined, and all are strongly encouraged to practice social distancing measures for the foreseeable future. However, there is some hope out of Africa, namely Senegal and Madagascar, amidst all the doom and gloom.
Covid Organics (CVO), a potential coronavirus cure, has been developed by the Malagasy Institute of Applied Research and was officially launched by Malagasy President Andry Rajoelina last month. CVO is an herbal potion that is set to begin clinical trials and is said to cure COVID-19 infected patients -as reported by local media. Senegal has approved the use of the Artemisia, which is the main component of the CVO, and is working on creating a protocol to begin clinical trials. Senegal hopes to eventually make the drug more readily available to its affected population.
Likewise, South Africa has also expressed interest in the scientific analysis of Covid Organics to gain a better understanding of the medicinal benefits of CVO. Madagascar has shared CVO with several African countries in partnership efforts to eradicate this pandemic across the whole African continent, and perhaps internationally too.
