RIYADH: Saudi Arabia´s public prosecutor on Thursday ordered the arrest of two people who appeared in a video drinking a disinfectant in a bid to stave off the new coronavirus.
The young men were separately seen gulping down a steriliser in a video that went viral, triggering a flurry of angry comments online. On Twitter, the public prosecution office said it ordered the men to be arrested for “drinking a disinfectant that is not suitable for human consumption” and “misleading people that it will protect them from the coronavirus”.
One Twitter user demanded the “most severe punishment” for the duo, saying they put other young people at risk as they could be tempted to imitate them. Saudi Arabia has reported 274 coronavirus cases but no deaths so far.
