schema:articleBody	AFP's fact-check service debunks misinformation spread online. Here are some of our recent fact-checks: Multiple posts on Weibo, Twitter and Facebook have circulated claiming that a top Chinese respiratory expert told people to rinse their mouths with salt water to prevent infection from the emerging Wuhan coronavirus. The claim is false. The expert's team clarified that saline would not "kill" the virus and urged people not to share inaccurate information. The World Health Organization also told AFP there was no evidence that saline solution would protect against infection. Misleading claims that first responders in Australia were advised to kill orphaned koala and kangaroo joeys found during deadly bushfires have circulated on Facebook and Twitter. The government, however, has refuted the accusation and clarified its guidance that only joeys deemed unlikely to survive should be euthanised. A veterinarian also told AFP that euthanasia can be the humane choice for orphaned joeys. A video has been viewed thousands of times in multiple Facebook posts alongside claims that the footage shows US troops being pelted with stones in Iraq. The claim is false. The footage was actually filmed in northern Syria and shows protesters attacking a joint Turkish-Russian patrol. A photo of a boy in a cockpit has been shared tens of thousands of times in multiple posts on Facebook alongside a claim he is a Sri Lankan teen who was selected by NASA as part of a group to "populate Mars." In fact, the photo has circulated since 2017 in reports about a 14-year-old Indian boy who successfully flew a plane solo. NASA has also not selected any astronauts for any missions to Mars, the agency told AFP. Multiple Facebook and Twitter posts shared thousands of times claim a Pakistani lawmaker received government welfare payments for the last seven years whilst holding the position of Information Minister for a provincial government. However, the claim is false. The welfare system chief refuted that the lawmaker,who is not a provincial Information Minister, was ever a beneficiary of the scheme. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. afp
