School’s out?
A tweet declaring that all schools, including polytechnics and universities, would close next Monday due to the Wuhan virus outbreak took some Singaporeans by surprise on Friday (Feb 7).
The tweet, which passed itself off as one from Channel NewsAsia, is being circulated on WhatsApp.
The news channel has confirmed that the tweet is fake and its message untrue.
The fake screengrab appears to be doctored screengrab of another tweet sent out by the publication, the Ministry of Health noted.
There are some signs indicating that the tweet is fake, which include the hashtag (that its automation service does not use), as well as an outdated watermark of Mediacorp’s logo in the attached photo.
