                <p>On March 5, a status was published on Facebook that states that against the new Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 "everyone should make sure that their mouth and throat are moist, never dry" and that for this you have to drink "some sip of water at least every 15 minutes. Why? Even if the virus enters your mouth ... water or other liquids will sweep it away through the esophagus and into the stomach. "<br/>

This news is false.

As William Schaffner – infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University in the United States of America – explainedAssociated Pressdrinking more water prevents dehydration but does not prevent you from getting infected with the virus.
