Not only the virus, hoax about Corona virus can also make an extraordinary impact. As happened in Ukraine, a wave of protests had appeared in the community, after hoax news circulated about the Corona virus. Not only that, the Ukrainian community even got involved in clashes with riot police.

Reported by Viva that summarizes the Buzzfeednews page,on Monday, February 24, 2020, the news of the hoaks came from a brodcast email claiming the Corona virus came from the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.

The e-mail contained false information if there were already five cases of Covid-19 virus in the country on the same day when a plane carrying Ukrainian people from China arrived there.

As a result of the hoax, a direct protest ensued. In addition the community also clashed with riot police in several places, quoted

But what actually happened was that the email came from outside Ukraine. The information was released directly by the Safety Services Unit (SBU).

To note, to date there are only two Ukrainians who are infected with the Corona virus. Both are also not in the country but are passengers of the Diamond Princess ship docked in Japan. Currently, both are rumored to have returned to health from the Corona virus.

In the aftermath of the incident, the Ukrainian Public Health Center moved quickly to inform the public if the information was wrong. The agency also reminded the local media to no longer disseminate the hoax information.

Not only that, the refutation of the Corona virus also came from Governor Kharkiv, where the plane landed which was carrying refugees from China.

"Do not be panic, everything is fine. Everyone on the plane is healthy," he said, reported by local media. ***
