Shafaq News / The Health Procedures Division in Rusafa in Baghdad has warned against using a " filter " that contains a substance that was said to protect from corona virus infection, noting that the substance causes immune deficiency and suffocation in the respiratory system.

A number of Iraqi government officials and members of parliament appeared wearing this substance filter, on which the phrase "Air Doctor" was written on it hanging from their shirts.

The director of Health Procedures Division in Rusafa, Wissam Hussain told Shafaq News, that "the card contains Cherubin and this substance does not protect the person from Corona virus, but rather it harms him more than the benefit."

He added, "Unfortunately, he was promoted by propaganda in Iraq, and in fact, it has no protective role against the virus as it is excrete Chlorine when the person is moving. "

It is mentioned that the aforementioned card has been promoted in many advertisements and in some social media, which led to its sale in some pharmacies at double prices and rose from a few thousand dinars to about $ 100 per filter.
