“The viral post on social media shows the photo of a label of a Dettol product. The circled text shows the different microbes Dettol is able to kill, which includes the name of Coronavirus as well. The post caption states: “This kills coronavirus how did they know about it in 2019??”

Vishvas News rated this: MISLEADING

Vishvas News says: The label of Dettol mentioning that it kills coronavirus is not the recent strain of coronavirus. They have not tested its products for the recent noval coronavirus. Misleading post is getting viral.
