A message is doing the rounds on social media claiming that the armed forces have set up a 1000-bed COVID-19 care hospital near Mumbai airport. However, the PRO Defence Mumbai shared the screenshot of the message in a tweet and said that the claims have 'no basis and is FAKE news'.
"There is a message circulating on social media that a 1000 bedded #COVID19 care hospital by Indian Armed Forces has been established near Airport terminal T1 at #Mumbai. This has no basis and is FAKE news," Defence Ministry's Mumbai PRO said in a tweet from its official account.
The 'fake' message reads - "This is to inform you that from today onward 1000 beds facility is initiated by Armed forces w.e.f 0800 hrs today for admission of all confirmed corona patients who need immediate hospitalisation. This state-of-the-art 1000-bedded COVID care hospital is very close to domestic airport T1. This facility is meant to extend a helping hand to all civilian brethren and ex-servicemen. Everything is FREE (sic)."
FAKE NEWS ALERT!
