Video was shared on Twitter by user @vineet10. It has received over 24.1k views on the micro-blogging website. The video demonstrated how the steam emanating from a pressure cooker was diverted into the lid of another cooker with the help of an RO filter pipe. The lid was then used to inhale steam which the video claimed could prevent the onset of Coronavirus. Further, it explained that the steam could be used to sanitise the body as well as vegetables, fruits and so on.
