A media centre has been set up while two hotlines were introduced for the public to obtain any information concerning the wide-spreading Covid-19 virus, says the Department of Government Information.

Accordingly, the general public can reach 0710107107 or 0113071073 for any inquiries regarding the current situation on the virus.

In the meantime, the Department, issuing a communiqué, has urged the public to accept only confirmed and official information on coronavirus.

The Health Ministry, Health Promotion Bureau and the Government Information Department will be delivering the official announcements to the public, the communiqué read further.

The general public is also urged not to have undue panic over false information on coronavirus patients that are being spread by certain individuals.
