Indonesians are soaking up the Sun rays believing the sunshine will fight off coronavirus.
The thought behind this is, the vitamin D it supplies, can slow or kill the virus.
Additionally, there’s hope the Sun will strengthen the immune system.
Science isn’t so sure about the theories, but say a 15-minute burst of morning sunshine can be good for you.
"Exposing the body to direct sunlight is good to get vitamin D, not to directly prevent the disease," said Dr. Dirga Sakti Rambe at Jakarta’s OMNI Pulomas Hospital.
Vitamin D, which comes from fish, eggs, milk and sunlight exposure, is important in maintaining a healthy immune system, he said, but added: "Sunbathing does not kill the virus that causes COVID-19."
