After US President Donald Trump stated that if there was a possibility of treating COVID positive patients by injecting them with ‘disinfectants’, the New York health Health Department has received several calls from people over fears that they had ingested bleach or other household cleaners. According to the Poison Control Center, a subagency of the city’s Health Department managed a total of 30 cases of possible exposure to disinfectants between 9 p.m. Thursday and 3 p.m. Friday.
