Health chiefs have slammed a ‘fake news’ voice message which predicts a hike in coronavirus deaths and details the ambulance services’ response to the virus.
The message, which has been circulating on WhatsApp, reportedly discusses the ambulance response to coronavirus, as well as restrictions on movement and predicted case numbers and claims to have come from Public Health England (PHE).
The agency has dismissed the message as ‘fake news’ and is urging anyone who receives it not share it. Meanwhile, the North West Ambulance Service insisted that the “alarmist information” being shared in the message is not correct.
