The statement attributed to Italian PM Giuseppe Conte
reads: "Our control is gone. Infectious disease is killing us. All the
possible relief on the earth is over."
India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) found the viral
post to be fake. The quote is made up as we couldn't find any credible news
report saying that Italian PM has given such a statement over Covid- 19 deaths.
Even the picture used in the viral post is not of Italian PM Conte but
President of Italy Sergio Mattarella.
We also scanned the social media profiles of Italian PM,
but couldn't find any such statement given by him.
A website -- Rappler -- also debunked the viral post.
Contrary to the viral post, the report of Rappler says
that on March 21, Italian PM said: "We are giving up the most expensive
habits, we do it because we love Italy, but we do not give up courage and hope
in the future. United we will do it".
