  • AFP's fact-check service debunks misinformation spread online. Here are some of our recent fact-checks: The spread of the coronavirus has been accompanied by prolific misinformation and false claims online. In Australia, officials refuted a falsified health warning that advised residents to avoid certain suburbs with large Chinese populations. False claims also circulated in Sri Lanka asserting that doctors were fearful that the entire population of Wuhan would die. Other posts falsely claimed that a new hospital was built in Wuhan in just 16 hours. Footage of a helicopter crash has been viewed more than three million times in multiple social media posts that claim it shows the accident that killed US basketball legend Kobe Bryant and his teenage daughter. However, the claim is false. The video, which began circulating within hours of the Los Angeles crash, actually shows a fatal helicopter accident that occurred in the United Arab Emirates in December 2018. A video has been viewed tens of thousands of times on social media alongside claims that the footage shows a Chinese national being arrested for igniting a bushfire in Australia. The claim is false. The Chinese consulate in Melbourne said it had received no reports about a Chinese citizen being arrested for arson. The footage was also captured by Australian television channel 7NEWS, which did not report the suspect's nationality. A photo of man has been shared thousands of times on Facebook and Twitter alongside a claim that he was a security guard who was killed while attempting to thwart a gunman in Thailand. The posts claim that Thai police obtained vital DNA evidence from the gunman's sweat because of the guard's actions. The claim is misleading. While the photographed man has been identified as the late security guard, police said they never collected any DNA from the gunman's sweat. Multiple articles and social media posts published this month claim that the Hong Kong Police Force was named the sixth most reliable in the world in 2019. However, the claim is misleading. The findings, which were released by a Canadian think tank, are based on data from 2017, two years before major pro-democracy rallies broke out. The report's authors also told AFP that the study has been misrepresented and that they expect Hong Kong police's score to "decline greatly" in 2020 due to its handling of the 2019 demonstrations. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. afp
