This Facebook post claims the aforementioned are ‘basic medicines for treating Covid-19″. Doctors say medicines taken without consulting doctors can do more harm than good.
As the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic surges across Nepal with an alarming rise in infections and deaths, a huge amount of misinformation about the contagion is circulating on the internet. Over the past few days, social media users have been sharing a picture containing various pills and capsules along with a handwritten list of medicines with a caption that they are some ‘basic medicines for Covid-19’. The handwritten ‘Covid tablets’ list, which is circulating on Facebook and messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger among others, contains the names of various medicines and recommended daily dosages.

Jharana Kandel, a media student in Kathmandu, was terrified after her friend forwarded an audio message on her Messenger account on March 20, 2020. Why wouldn’t she be? At a time when Nepal did not have any active Covid-19 cases and the infection was considered a stigma, she was told that Nepal already had six positive cases but the government was hiding them owning to its failure to control the chaos after the revelation.
“I was so scared that I kept washing my hands and sanitising them repeatedly and forced my parents and siblings to do so,” Kandel remembers, “But, I don’t want to remember that day.”

Having dissolved the House of Representatives and announcing general elections, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has recently addressed several rallies across the country. In his speeches, Oli defended his government’s move and highlighted its various achievements of the last three years of his tenure, and his previous stint as prime minister. On February 5, 2021, addressing a rally at Durbar Marg in Kathmandu, he said: “Some people have spread various misleading information about me.” But a fact-check of his recent speeches by South Asia Check found that the prime minister himself has been repeating some claims that have already been debunked by fact-checkers.
