Here are the live updates from the launch event:

* We will even carry out tests on people on ventilators, says Ramdev Baba.

* This is a cure not just immunity booster, says Ramdev Baba.

* App will be launched for the delivery of the Corona kit, says Ramdev.

* 0% death rate and 100% recovery rate has been seen, says Baba Ramdev.

* 69% of the people recovered in 6 days. 100% of the people recovered in 3-7 days, says Baba.

* We have researched everything and well answer all questions, says Ramdev Baba.

* Patanjali claims that the controlled clinical trials was jointly conducted by Patanjali Research Institute, Haridwar and National Institute of Medical Sciences, Jaipur.

"We appointed a team of scientists after COVID-19 outbreak. Firstly, the simulation was done and compounds were identified which can fight the virus and stop its spread in the body. Then, we conducted a clinical case study on hundreds of positive patients and we have got 100 per cent favourable results," Balkrishna said.

"After taking our medicine, COVID patients recovered in 5-14 days and then tested negative. So, we can say the cure for COVID is possible through Ayurveda. We are performing controlled clinical trials only. In the next 4-5 days, evidence and data will be released by us," he added.
