Scientists have considered a number of substances that can potentially treat the sickness with the most popular ones being Chloroquine and Remdesivir. In Nigeria, a number of people have touted various herbal products as potential remedies. Many of these claims have been denounced as unscientific and distractive.

In Madagascar, another African country, herbal drink made from the Artemisia Annua plant has been endorsed by the government as a COVID-19 remedy. Initially the medical community had largely denounced this COVID Organic as fake, unproven, and untested.
