People are being warned again and again about rumors related to Coronavirus. From social media to forwarded messages, many fake things related to it keep coming up. Now another new rumor is spreading rapidly on the internet, claiming that the corona virus is spread by AC (air conditioners). Similar messages are becoming very viral on whatsapp, so if you too are confused about whether the corona virus is spread by AC or not, then let us know the truth of it.

Some information about this claim has come out from the fact check done by PIB. It is written in the official fact check account of PIB,‘Claim: AC should not be used for cooling in summer. This spreads the corona virus.

Fact: It's a bit complicated. It is fine to use Window AC, but not Central AC. '

With this, PIB has also shared a video, in which the truth has been told about this claim. When asked by the doctor in the video, it is told that there is no problem in running the window AC in the house. But running a centralized AC can be a problem in large places like hospitals, where even a single person of corona virus is present.

Does the risk of corona end with heat?

Apart from this, another claim which is being made is that due to excessive heat, the effect of corona virus will be over. On this, the doctor said that as far as the matter is concerned that the corona virus is eradicated from the heat, there is no study at this time.

According to the data released on Sunday morning in India, the number of people who died of Corona virus has now increased to 507, while 12,969 cases are active.
