Prior to the first confirmed case, the Federal Ministry of Information and Broadcasting's Press Information Bureau (PIB) released 'Coronavirus Countermeasures Advice' on January 29, 2020. Like some medical institutions around the world, some advices include 'wash your hands with soap and water for more than 20 seconds', 'do not touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands', 'avoid contact with sick people' Although some were included, advice was also provided based on homeopathy with poor scientific evidence, Ayurveda , a traditional Indian medicine, and Unani , a traditional medicine in the Islamic culture.
Some of the advice the PIB gave was 'for three days, keep taking the homeopathic drug Arsenicum album on an empty stomach.' Arsenicum album is a diluted solution of arsenic , known as a toxicant, and is considered an effective medicine in the homeopathic world. However, it is unlikely that Arsenicum album is actually effective against the new type of coronavirus, and there are cases where fatal situations may occur if the usage of Arsenicum album is incorrect.

The PIB release also includes therapies such as taking herbal preparations based on Ayurveda and 'dropping sesame oil into each nostril every morning.' In addition, according to the teachings of Yunani medicine, 'light and soft meals that can be easily digested' were also recommended.
There are many negative reactions to the PIB announcement, and people who paste information sources saying that 'homeopathy is a scam' ...

a) standard @WHO advice (hygiene, hand washing, etc) AND
b) a series of herbs / potions etc which are at best useless, at worst toxic due to processing impurities.But the real danger is people will ignore (a) and practice (b).
It is pointed out that Indian authorities have announced a new countermeasure against coronavirus based on traditional medicine because traditional medicine like Ayurveda is a fast growing industry in India . In recent years, traditional medicine has been attracting attention by people who are skeptical of modern medicine, and the Indian government has set up the AYUSH ministry to educate, research and spread traditional medicine such as Ayurveda and yoga. We are focusing on dissemination. 'While countries around the world are preparing for an outbreak in an evidence-based way, India is taking another path,' said ScienceAlert, a science media.
