Alt News has received several requests on its official Android<\/a> application to fact-check a letter circulating on social media. The letter is a supposed order issued by the Tourism Ministry which says that hotels and restaurants will remain closed till October 15.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The order also says that “all tourism departments of India” have been informed. At one point, it specifically talks about closing north Indian hotels, restaurants and resorts. It also says that in case of any violation, a case will be filed against the owner of the property.<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h4>\n

First of all, the supposed order is replete with spelling and grammatical errors which is unusual for any official document. The order also mentions a website – indiantourism.org – which doesn’t exist. The official website of the Tourism Ministry is tourism.gov.in<\/a>. All government websites either end with ‘.gov’ or ‘.nic’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With a keyword search on Google, we couldn’t find any news report which said that hotels, restaurants, and resorts will remain closed till October 15. Press Information Bureau of India’s<\/em> fact-checking handle on Twitter had called out the misinformation and dubbed the order as fake. “The order is Fake and has NOT been issued by Ministry of Tourism.” reads<\/a> the tweet.<\/p>\n

\n

Be cautious of #Fake<\/a> order claiming that hotels\/resturants will remain closed till 15th October 2020 due to #Coronavirusoutbreak<\/a>.#PIBFactCheck<\/a>: The order is Fake and has NOT been issued by Ministry of Tourism.<\/p>\n
