There is a misconception that ACs should not be used to cool off in the heat, as they spread Covid-19.

In a tweet, Press Information Bureau said, window ACs are ok, but not central air-conditioning.

It rejected another claim that exposure to high temperatures prevents COVID19.

It said, there is no scientific evidence to prove that coronavirus can be prevented in high temperature. Countries with hot weather have also reported COVID19 cases.

Busting another claim the dogs and cats both pet and stray can spread Covid-19 to humans, it said, there is no evidence that coronavirus can be transmitted by pets.

However, it said, personal hygiene should be followed like washing hands well with soap and water.
