There is no truth to reports people are collapsing on the street and dying after contracting the coronavirus, the health ministry said.
Meanwhile Special investigation has been launched to track down individuals who posted false photos of dead bodies claiming they died on roadside due to COVID-19, Police said today.
DIG Ajith Rohana said that except for a beggar who had been found dead on the street after contracting the coronavirus, no one else had died in such a manner.
