KUALA LUMPUR: News on social media that a 20-year-old Chinese man from Taman Tas, Kuantan, had died of Covid-19 is fake, according to the Quick Response Team of the Communications and Multimedia Ministry.
In a statement, it quoted the Pahang director of health as dismissing the news as fake.
âThe Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital in Kuantan did not come across such a death and the Pahang Police Headquarters did not handle any brought-in-dead case,â the statement said.
The public has been advised not to spread fake news that can trigger panic in the community.
