A five-minute audio clip of a phone conversation between two men is circulating on WhatsApp. In the audio, one man shares various claims related to coronavirus in Nagpur while the other reacts to the information. Alt News has received several requests to fact-check the viral audio on WhatsApp (+91 76000 11160).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some of the claims made in the audio file are – “59 people have been tested positive and identified over 200 Covid-19 cases in Nagpur.” The man who made the claim also added that he was informed of these numbers by ‘Nitin’.<\/p>\n

Another claim that was made in the viral audio was that three doctors were tested positive and “Dr Kamlesh” is currently on a ventilator due to coronavirus. “His test had to be sent to Mumbai because labs in Nagpur don’t have the capacity to conduct Covid-19 tests nor the staff knows how to conduct it.”<\/p>\n

The viral audio also suggests that the Maharasthra Medical Association has recruited six doctors from Sweden and are seeking approval from the PM. “They will visit for 12 days and test the samples,” the man claimed, adding that news numbers of coronavirus cases were informed to the CM but the information hasn’t been made public yet.<\/p>\n

The full audio can be heard below<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h4>\n

Alt News spoke with Anil Gadekar, district information officer<\/a>, Nagpur. He said, “The audio file that claims 59 people have been tested positive for Covid-19 and a team from Sweden is coming for 12 days to conduct coronavirus test is totally fabricated. A complaint has been registered with the police. Even the cyber cell in looking into the matter.”<\/p>\n

Gadekar shared the district government’s official data on coronavirus patients. According to the data, as of now five people have been tested positive for coronavirus in Nagpur.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The translation of the information mentioned above can be found below. As per the information, the doctor who was tested positive in Nagpur is Civil Surgeon Dr VD Paturkar. He is also the first patient to be discharged in the city.<\/p>\n

On March 27 Times of India<\/a><\/em> reported that after interrogating 35 people, the cyber cell zero-downed on three suspects. Jay Gupta (37), Amit Pardhi (38) and Divyanshu Mishra (33) have been arrested for circulating the misleading audio file.<\/p>\n

Prior to this, Nagpur police clarified via Twitter that a fake audio clip is being circulated on social media. The tweet said, “Extremely irresponsible as well as misleading audio and video clips are going viral in the context of corona, serious action is being taken against those sending false information or sending false messages. Posting rumours is a serious crime.

On March 26, the Press Information Bureau’s<\/em> fact-check wing also tweeted about the viral audio message.<\/p>\n

An audio clip is circulating on social media claiming that Nagpur has tested 59 positive coronavirus cases including 3 doctors<\/p>\n

The assertion made in the audio is #FAKE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please DO NOT forward such fake audio clips. pic.twitter.com\/u29ROXWaf0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 PIB Fact Check (@PIBFactCheck) March 26, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thus, the claims made via the audion viral on WhatsApp are baseless and misleading.<\/p>\n

It must be noted that the official figure of COVID-19 positive cases is solely based on the number of tests that have been done, and should not be confused with the actual number of people who may be COVID-19 positive. Among major countries, India has one of the lowest rates for coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> The number of\u00a0positive cases of the novel coronavirus in India<\/a> is close to 700. This has caused the government to impose a complete restriction on movement apart from essential services. Globally<\/a>, more than 4 lakh confirmed cases and close to 22,000 deaths have been reported. There is a growing sense of panic among citizens, causing them to fall for a variety of online misinformation \u2013 misleading images and videos rousing fear or medical misinformation promoting pseudoscience and invalid treatments. While your intentions may be pure, misinformation, spread especially during a global pandemic, can take lives.
