“My advice is a bit of prophetic advice. Let’s keep the mask on in church, outside the church, and wherever you go. Those of you that use one mask one week, it's dangerous, get a lot of mask,s and change them every day.
He also urged them to drink hot water with lemon, ginger, garlic, and honey to build a strong immune system.
