MyGov India tweeted saying this is a myth.

It wrote, “…there is NO scientific evidence that it can prevent #COVID19 or make you recover from it faster! Don’t be misled by rumours, trust authentic sources and be responsible while forwarding such news,”

The only way to prevent contracting COVID-19 is by taking adequate precautions like wearing masks, sanitising hands and maintaining social distance, and ensuring that you get vaccinated as soon as possible, while drinking tea can help boost immunity.
