Ullal: A councillor from Ullal who claimed to have found a home remedy for COVID-19, in a video that went viral earlier last month has reportedly tested positive for the infection.

The home remedy suggested by councillor Ravichandra Gatti comprised of rum and eggs.

In the viral video, Gatti is heard saying, “Khodays Rum, many people in Bengaluru and Madikeri drink rum, but I do not drink or eat fish. However, this is the medicine for COVID virus. Add a teaspoonful of ground pepper in 90ml rum and stir it well with your finger and drink it. Eat two half-fried omelettes to ensure that the coronavirus vanishes.

I tried many medicines for Covid-19 but only rum and eggs worked. I am not suggesting this as a politician but as a member of the corona committee.”
