WB BJP president Dilip Ghosh who claimed cow urine could cure COVID-19, tests positive

West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Dilip Ghosh tested positive for COVID-19 on late Friday night, sources said. He was admitted to a private hospital in the satellite town of Salt Lake situated in the north-eastern outskirts of Kolkata.

According to sources, Ghosh was having mild fever and underwent a Corona test. The results came positive Friday night and he was admitted to the high dependency unit (HDU) of the hospital.

It was learnt from the hospital sources that Ghosh's oxygen saturation level in the body was fine and his condition was quite stable. The BJP state unit president was not keeping well for the past couple of days and he voluntarily went for a self-isolation before undergoing the COVID-19 test.

In July, the BJP leader had claimed that drinking Gaumutra (cow urine) could cure COVID-19 infection. His views had drawn flak on social media.
