The message reads – ‘There is a higher stage of corona which cannot be detected but is infected to small children till the age of 30’. Let’s fact-check the claim made in the post. ![\\"\\"](\\" FB-Post-1024x500.jpg\\")The archived version of the post can be found here > Claim: Message from the BMC – ‘There is a higher stage of corona which > cannot be detected but is infected to small children till the age of 30’. > > Fact: The BMC did not issue any such message. They clarified on their social > media handles that the viral message is fake. Hence the claim made in the > post is FALSE. When we searched about the message in the post, it was found that the BMC has already issued a clarification on the message. They have also published the same on their social media handles (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) saying – ‘The following **image making rounds on social media is fake** and we urge citizens to not circulate it any further. We request Mumbaikars to **continue following all COVID-prevention norms and help the city beat the virus**.’ ![\\"\\"](\\" BMC-1024x500.jpg\\") As the COVID-19 cases are increasing in the State of Maharashtra, some of the updated guidelines issued by the BMC and the Government of Maharashtra can be found here and here, respectively. ![\\"\\"](\\" BMC-2.jpg\\") As COVID-19 is quite a new disease and multiple strains of the virus are emerging, its effect on children is an evolving issue.
