Karnataka Government has warned medical practitioners of action if they are found guilty of spreading misinformation about COVID-19.
In a statement on January 18, the Commissionerate, Health and Family Welfare Services, said, “It has come to the notice of the government that a few medical practitioners, while communicating to the public on various media platforms, are giving incomplete, inaccurate and unsubstantiated information about COVID-19. Such misinformation leads to confusion among the public at large on the prevailing COVID-19 scenario in the State, and encourages them to deviate from well laid out guidelines issued by the health and revenue authorities.”
