Health chiefs have warned the public to ignore a WhatsApp voice message which makes a number of alarmist claims about the coronavirus pandemic.
The message, from an unknown woman, has been dismissed by Public Health England as "fake news". The information claims to have come from PHE, and said from Thursday ambulances will no longer be sent to those struggling to breathe, with patients expected to manage the symptoms at home.
It also claims every mortuary in the UK is full and bodies are now being sent "to every ice skating rink there is in the UK".
The recording also claims as many as 300 children a day with no underlying health conditions would die at the peak of the outbreak.
