At least 27 people have died from alcohol poisoning in Iran’s Khuzestan and Alborz provinces in an attempt to fight off the COVID-19 coronavirus, said state-run media on Monday.
“Some of the citizens of Ahwaz had heard that drinking alcohol could help them fight the coronavirus, so they used it as a preventive measure,” said Ali Ehsanpour, spokesman of Ahwaz University of Medical Sciences, told Iranian state-run media, as reported by ABC News.
