Professor Jenny Harries has warned the public over the importance of using appropriate treatments against coronavirus after a clip of President Donald Trump was widely circulated overnight.
Mr Trump, in Thursday’s White House task force briefing, suggested there should be further research into whether disinfectant could be injected into the body after he was presented with results of a US government study that showed bleach could kill the virus in saliva or respiratory fluids within five minutes.
In the UK’s government press briefing on Friday, Prof Jenny was quizzed by a journalist on whether she has a message to the President about the dangers of spreading disinformation.
