Coronavirus Romania is starting to panic, although no case of an infected person has yet been confirmed on the territory of our country, but the panic is fueled by messages like the one below, which started circulating on WhatsApp and is being distributed quickly.
Coronavirus brought this message on WhatsApp and we are talking about a fake news that the authorities have repeatedly denied, and they will probably have to deny it again because the vast majority of those who use the application do not know the difference between reality and fake news.
Coronavirus has this message distributed not only on WhatsApp, but also on Facebook Messenger, the Facebook social network, and others, but it started to be distributed on the first platform, the world is scared, or just eager to hurt others, by distributing it quickly.
Coronavirus it shows us how dangerous WhatsApp is, just like the rest of the other messaging platforms, and this reminds me of 2018 and the people stoned to death in India after a similar campaign of fake news distributed through the same platform.
Coronavirus it shows us again that WhatsApp is the only good platform to spread panic among the population, and if you receive that message, do not forward it and ignore it because it is not true, the authorities denying it repeatedly.
"We requested the population not to listen to anything that comes on social media and from unconfirmed sources. It is now a communication group that is being built today, they have their first meetings today and through this group they will communicate. The moment we know it's a case and it's 100% confirmed, we'll report it. If someone finds out from the sources, that's their business, but nothing from the sources is considered until the official communication is out. This is how we have to learn to work in such situations, because otherwise we will have a big emergency management problem and the population will be misled."
Coronavirus will be the reason why many other fake news will appear on WhatsApp, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, and many other platforms will be invaded by fake news, and I remind you that only on the websites of IGSU, DSU, MAI or You can find real information at the Ministry of Health.
