schema:articleBody	AFP's fact-check service debunks misinformation spread online. Here are some of our recent fact-checks: A claim circulated online that footballer Cristiano Ronaldo planned to turn his hotels in Portugal into hospitals for people infected by the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. It was shared tens of thousands of times in multiple languages across various social media platforms. But a spokesperson for the hotel group, which Ronaldo co-owns, said the claim was "inaccurate". Ronaldo, who self-isolated after a teammate tested positive for the virus, has also not mentioned any such plan on his social media accounts. An infographic was shared hundreds of times on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube alongside a claim that it showed the novel coronavirus pandemic fits a pattern of viral outbreaks that occur every 100 years. But the infographic contained several inaccuracies and ignored several epidemics that do not fit the assumed pattern. Health experts also told AFP that while certain viruses are seasonal in nature, there is no basis for the claim that viral outbreaks occur once every century. A claim that water used in Islamic ablution rituals can kill the novel coronavirus was shared widely in various media reports and across social media platforms. The claim is false. Health experts maintain that water alone cannot kill the virus and recommend that people wash their hands with soap and water for effective protection. A claim that manufacturers were distributing free baby formula during the coronavirus pandemic was shared hundreds of times in multiple posts on Facebook. But several major formula producers told AFP that the claim was a hoax. The leading industry association also noted that official guidelines forbid the donation of formula to the public. A video viewed hundreds of thousands of times claimed that breathing in hot air from a hairdryer or a sauna can prevent or cure the novel coronavirus. Experts said this is false, explaining that these methods are not supported by scientific evidence and would not be effective. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. afp
