Description

With full curfew imposed in India due to corona damage, a claim circulates on social media states that “97% of corona in India will be removed by June 18 and the world will be free of corona from December 8, according to a study by a Singapore-based university,” which has gone viral on WhatsApp and Facebook.

Fact Check:

When we searched for The University of Singapore’s  Corona forecast for India in different terms, there is no such news like that claim.

According to data released by the Data-Driven Innovation Lab and Singapore University of Technology and Design in April 2020, India will corona free by 97% on May 22 and 100% on July 26. It is stated also that the corona will be removed worldwide on December 9, 2020.

But, as predicted, the impact the corona impact in India has not reduced or completely eliminated. Currently, the second wave of Covid-19 has hit India very hard. If the corona damage does not subside, but the current situation is more likely to continue curfews even also in the coming weeks.

Explanation

In our search, the claim that “India will be 97% corona free from June 18 and the entire world will be free of corona from December 8, according to a survey conducted by the University of Singapore” is fake news. They are turning the prediction data that was published last year and spreading this misinformation on social media platforms.
