In an initiative of the Ministry of AYUSH, the Central Council for Research in Homeopathy (CCRH) discussed the methods and measures for prevention of coroma virus infection in its 64th meeting of Scientific Advisory Board on 28 January 2020.  The group of experts recommended that the homeopathy drug Arsenicum album 30 be adopted as a prophylactic drug against corona virus infection, which has also been suggested for the prevention of ILI.  It recommended a dose of Arsenicum album 30, used daily for three days on an empty stomach.  The dose should be repeated after one month so that the same schedule of corona virus infection that prevails in the community can be followed.  Apart from this, the Expert Group has suggested that the public health measures suggested by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India should be followed by the public for prevention of the disease.
