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, the spokesperson of Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said.
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 warned people to be aware of fake news and rumours.
India's COVID-19 case count crossed the eight lakh-mark with yet another highest single-day spike of 27,114 new cases in the last 24 hours.
