[CEK FAKTA] Masks Cause Death due to Corona Virus

Jakarta, IDN Times – An upload that says masks can be the cause of people dying from COVID-19 spreads on Facebook. In the upload, death was caused by the corona virus being trapped in a mask.

The uploader of the information, Dheeraj D’s account, said the mask prevented the virus from leaving the body. As a result, the corona virus is said to have accumulated on masks.

The following is the complete narrative of the upload:
