J&K to cap Covid treatment rates in private hospitals
The COVID situation worsened further in J&K on Wednesday as 3,023 new cases and 30 deaths were reported during last 24 hours. Alarmed by the situation, authorities announced a complete lockdown in 11 districts of J&K from 7 p.m. on Thursday to 7 a.m. on Monday. But another tweet by J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, ordering a total lockdown of 7 days, is in circulation, causing panic in the valley.
The claim
A screenshot of a tweet from J&K LG Manoj Sinha is being circulated in WhatsApp groups and on social media, which has caused panic in the Union Territory. As J&K's COVID cases hit a record high mark for the last few days and the death tally continues to spike, the tweet by Sinha ordering a complete lockdown for 7 days in J&K was circulated with a little suspicion.
