The health condition of the British PM Boris Johnson today (Thursday 09.04.2020) is improving. He was admitted to the St.Thomas hospital last Sunday (05.04.2020) and on Monday due to worsening of his condition was transferred to the Intensive care.
In the past couple of days a number of fake stories and disinformation were published in North Macedonia, the region but also wider – globally. F2N2 wrote on the fake news that was published by the Russian RIA Novosti, claiming that Boris Johnson was put on ventilator breathing support. The fact was that he was given oxygen mask which is far from a ventilator.
During the morning today (09.04.2020) the culture minister Oliver Dowden stated: “Things are getting better for him, He’s stable, improving, sat up and engaged with medical staff.”
In these hard times, the news, must be carefully double checked, publishing half-truth and dissemination of propaganda can cause huge consequences for the society.
