WhatsApp text claiming COVID-19 is a bacteria & can be cured with aspirin is fake: Govt

Government has clarified that a WhatsApp message claiming that COVID-19 is not a virus but a bacteria and can be cured with anticoagulants like aspirin is fake. The message wrongly claims that this was discovered after Singapore performed an autopsy of a COVID-19 victim. "COVID-19 is a virus, not a bacteria...it can't be cured with anticoagulants like aspirin," government asserted.
