Truth
This is just a rumor. This has been making rounds on WhatsApp for almost a week claiming “tonight” but that night never came.
There had been no such new in media also yet. Neither was any such medicine found which can kill Corona by spraying.
Bangalore Municipal Corporation commissioner call it a Hoax
Dear Citizens, don’t fall prey to rumours on Whatsapp & other Social Media platforms. #BBMP has no plans to spray any medicine for #COVID19. The best medicine is to stay away from rumours!
