A group of women claimed to get rid of the deadly novel coronavirus by planting specific Indian sweets and worshipping them, in northeast India's Assam.

Amid the crisis of the COVID-19 disease, ignorance can increase the risk of infection spread among masses, with superstitious beliefs to widen the spectrum.

Nine of these sphere-shaped Indian origin sweets, called ‘laddoo’, have to be sowed in the ground and worshipped to make the 'Goddess of Corona' happy.

Once the 'Goddess' is satisfied, she shall quit terrorising the common man, according to this fallacy.

In visuals, a group of women can be seen placing the sweets in the dugout area, along with powders used for religious markings, and then worshiping the 'goddess' for peace.

The incident took place in Abhayapuri region of the state on June 1.

Local sweet shops are running out of these sweets as the unfounded belief gains more believers.
