'Coronavirus Is Gone!' - Prophet TB Joshua

The founder of The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet TB Joshua, has stressed that "it is the remnants of the Coronavirus disease we are seeing", insisting that "the real COVID-19 is gone".

Allnews reports that 'YouTube's most popular pastor' made the pronouncement while responding to a question on the dreaded disease recently.

In a video published on Wednesday on Emmanuel TV's official YouTube channel, one questioner asked TB Joshua thus: "You said the voice of the coronavirus will be silenced by the end of this month, but President (Donald) Trump said it may linger until July or August. For re-emphasis, we want to hear from you again because there is so much fear and panic."

The 56-year-old preacher answered: "I say again - it is the remnants we are seeing. The real coronavirus is gone. What we are seeing now are the remnants. But what the coronavirus has caused - economic backlash, fear - will linger until the end of the year."
