In the wake of surging positive cases of coronavirus globally, we can all see social media platforms flooded with strange home remedies to cure or to prevent coronavirus.
A Facebook post and a video claim that a novel coronavirus can be overcome with a hot air application using a hairdryer. A lot of people forwarded this viral post on the WhatsApp group.
Facebook users, ‘Hanuman Prasad Kaushal’ and ‘Rajendra Kothari’ have posted the video with the caption, “If you have a hairdryer with hot air application, you can easily overcome the CO-VID 19. Watch the video.”
The video is nearly around six-minutes, made by ‘Dr Dan Lee Dimke, PHD’. According to his theory, spraying hot air on the face with a hairdryer to heat the nostrils and sinuses can fight the novel coronavirus.
Here is the archived version of the video:
FACT CHECK:

As per reports, Dr. Dan Lee Dimke’s was not a medical practitioner. Dr. Dinke holds a PhD in Education. He is a hypnotist and futurologist, and the CEO of an Internet information marketing company called Future World.
Besides this, the World Health Organization (WHO) has never mentioned any hot air application remedy against the novel coronavirus in its public advice.
Check here the guidelines mentioned by WHO.
Earlier, an international fact-checking site revealed the viral claims and pointed out that using hot air on the face with a hairdryer can be dangerous.
Final Verdict:
The claim hereby states FALSE
Fact Check: The life of coronavirus isn’t 12 hours and clapping does not kill the virus
