“The fact is, they [Madagascar] have reached out to us with the Covid-19 cure but it will undergo testing at the FDA when made available to us . So we [Ghana] have not received any Covid-19 cure from Madagascar”, he said.
He added that, there are local herbalists who have reached to the government with medicines claiming to be Covid-19 cure but all those will undergo testing before approval.
