The Health Ministry refuted a tweet that makes fun of Covid-19 infections in Somalia.

Mogadishu (PP News Desk) — The Somali Federal Ministry of Heath had distanced itself from a Twitter account purporting to disseminate updates on Covid-19 infections in Somalia.

“The Ministry of Health confirms that the content associated with the Twitter page “Somalia COVID19 (@ SomaliaCovid19)”was not released by the Somalia Federal Ministry of Health, and that page is not one of the Ministry’s official social media platforms” tweeted the Ministry.

Fadumo Abikar, Minister for Health.

A Twitter handle named @SomaliaCovid19 jokingly tweeted that staying away from (sic)-“Twitter-pace” is highly recommended due the higher infection rate of the second wave of Covid-19.

The Twitter handle refuted by the Health Ministry is a verified but restricted account followed by, among other followers, EU Delegation in Somalia.
