Listen to Story India Today Fact Check There is no proven evidence that hot air application through a hairdryer will cure coronavirus. With a surge in the novel coronavirus, or Covid-19, cases globally, social media platforms are flooded with weird home remedies. A Facebook post along with a video claims one can overcome the novel coronavirus by hot air application from a hairdryer. Several people have also forwarded this viral post on WhatsApp groups. Facebook users such as 'Hanuman Prasad Kaushal' and 'Rajendra Kothari' have posted the video with the caption, "If you have a hairdryer with hot air application, you can easily overcome the CO-VID 19.

He is a hypnotist and futurologist and a CEO of an internet information marketing firm called Future World. The World Health Organization (WHO) has never mentioned any such hot air application remedy for the novel coronavirus in its public advice on Covid-19. The WHO guideline can be seen here. International fact-check website 'Snopes' had earlier debunked this viral claim and also stated that using hot air application through a hairdryer on the face could be potentially dangerous. AFWA had earlier debunked another viral home remedy which had said gargling with warm salt water can save you from the novel coronavirus.
