  • FACT CHECK: Does This Image Show Indian Politicians Not Wearing Masks During The COVID-19 Pandemic? An image shared on Facebook allegedly shows Indian politicians not wearing face masks during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Verdict: False The image dates back to November 2019, before India reported its first COVID-19 case. Fact Check: Multiple Facebook users have shared the image in recent days, with one commenting, “They were seen to teach a Child how to use a mask when those three are unmasked when Delhi itself is under Night Curfew due to a second wave of Covid Pandemic.” Another user said in part, “What a public display of a hypocrisy! Three adults putting mask on the child but none of them are wearing a mask.” The picture in question shows three men, who are not wearing face coverings, seemingly helping a child put on a mask. In Delhi, people are currently required to wear face coverings in public places to help curb the spread of COVID-19, according to the Business Standard. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact determined the photo predates India’s first confirmed COVID-19 case. India reported its first COVID-19 case in late January 2020, according to Reuters. India Today published the picture in a Nov. 1, 2019 article about air pollution in Delhi. Featured in the photo are New Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, as well as a third unidentified man. ThePrint also included the image in a Nov. 2, 2019 story about Kejriwal distributing anti-pollution masks to schoolchildren. “Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia distributed pollution masks among school students at a Delhi school on Friday,” reads India Today’s 2019 caption for the picture.
