Misinformation is spreading fast are well.

Reeve has more on the bad actors trying to muddy the waters and sometimes scam people as the number of Corona virus cases increases in the United States.

So to do Internet scams and hoaxes like this fake BBC Twitter account falsely claiming Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe had tested positive for Covert 19 Radcliffe says he was surprised when he heard the rumor.
