We're aware of inaccurate advice circulating on #COVID19.

Anonymous posts, claiming to be from "Stanford Hospital" or "Japanese doctors" are suggesting you can self-check for #coronavirus by holding your breath.

🚫 This is not accurate.

There’s a lot of fake news out there about #coronavirus, so it’s really important to get your information from a trusted source. We’ve been working with @TwitterUK to make sure your local NHS organisations are blue-tick verified — so it's easier to know who to trust.
