A notice which claims that a COVID-19 monitoring committee has been formed is fake, and no such committee has
been set up by the Union home ministry, as per spokesperson, ministry of home affairs (MHA).
The 'fake' MHA order stated, 'Pursuant to the
official orders received dated: Monday, May 18, 2020, of the Honourable
Minister of Home Affairs, passed in the approval of Special Status
Advisory Committee for COVID-19, a COVID-19 Monitoring Committee has
been constituted in the MHA vide order dated: Friday, June 12, 2020.'
MHA spokesperson also cautioned people to beware of fake news and
rumours.
India's COVID-19 case count crossed the eight lakh-mark on
Saturday with yet another highest single-day spike of 27,114 new cases
in the last 24 hours. -- ANI
