Statement Against Use of Chloroquine or Hydroxchloroquine
PSMID would like to express its strong statement against the use of CHLOROQUINE or HYDROXCHLOROQUINE should not be used for prophylaxis.
There is no high quality evidence that these will prevent COVID19. These drugs should be used cautiously because of the possible side effects.
LET’S NOT TAKE AWAY STOCKS OF CHLOROQUINE FROM THOSE WHO REALLY NEED IT!

How do we wash our hands?
At times like this, proper hand hygiene is MOST important (redundant as it may sound)! Having clean hands will limit the transmission of any infection as we unconsciously touch our face which may lead to us contracting an infection.
The question is HOW DO WE WASH OUR HANDS?
Don’t forget rubbing with 70% alcohol after washing your hands for 20 seconds is also encouraged!
