The video shared is that of a UK hospital doctor named Sarfaraz Munshi describes a vital breathing technique for Covid-19 sufferers that could prevent the patients from contracting secondary pneumonia, which could prove dangerous to health. The doctor said that his colleague Sue Elliot relies on the technique every day in intensive care. The video features a breathing technique that involves inhaling and exhaling and holding breaths and a ‘big cough'. "I really am completely recovered and wanted to share a technique that's recommended by doctors, costs nothing, has no nasty side effects but could help you/your loved ones a lot, as it did me. Stay safe, everyone," she added. Rowling is known for her bestselling fantasy book series about a young wizard and his friends. The books were later turned to a popular film franchise. Recently to support parents, caregivers, teachers, and the children stuck at home during the lockdown, she made the audio and e-books of  Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone available for free worldwide all throughout April.
