It's after Donald Trump suggested injecting coronavirus patients with disinfectant.

The maker of Dettol says that "under no circumstances" should its products be injected into the human body.

RB says it's disinfectant and hygiene products should only be used as intended.

It's after the US President suggested that tests should be carried out to see if COVID-19 patients could be cured by injecting them with disinfectant.

Donald Trump said it would be interesting to see if it works:

The US accounts for almost a third of the world's cases and deaths from the coronavirus. The number of deaths from Covid-19 across the world has passed 190,000 and more than 2.7 million cases of the disease have also been reported, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Meanwhile, the White House Press Secretary says Donald Trump's comments about using disinfectant to cure covid-19 have been taken out of context by the media.

The US President last night asked if there was a way that disinfectant could be injected into patients to clean the virus out. But Kayleigh McEnany, the White House Press Secretary, says Trump's comments were used irresponsibly by the media.
