A COVID-19 patient died in Argentina on Monday after a judge ordered a private clinic to administer chlorine dioxide to the patient.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other involved agencies cautioned that chlorine dioxide, which is usually used as a powerful disinfectant, can be hazardous to human health if used, according to a CBS News report.
Oscar García Rúa s family has successfully sued the clinic. The family s attorney said on Tuesday that they do not believe he died of his COVID-19 infection or of exposure to the chlorine dioxide.
Rua s family believed that he died out of a bacterial infection and plans to sue the clinic, Sanatorio Otamendi y Miroli S.A., again, according to a Breitbart News report.
