The Congress on Friday reacted
Taking to Twitter, Kamat said, "Use of Ayurveda for #Covid19. Has GOI Health Ministry and IEC approved the medicines? Has @moayush got approval from @WHO for such treatment? Will @goacm reveal details of claims made by him? Let us not use Goans as Guinea Pigs."
GFP chief Vijai Sardesai had tweeted, saying, "While I do acknowledge the benefits of #Ayurveda, I'm forced to ask what treatment @goacm gave to #covid19 patients."
"What scientific basis does this have? What medical study supports this? Is some kind of experiment being done on #goemkars (Goans)?"
