JIC Release No. 29 - Help Stop the Spread of Misinformation; DPHSS Updates on Home-Delivered Meals; GDOE Grab-N-Go School Meals
Stop the Spread Misinformation
Officials are aware of a video circulating with an individual claiming to be a COVID-19 carrier and then retracting their statement in a separate voice message. While the Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) is unable to confirm or deny whether any specific individual has been tested, or what their test results are, due to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations, individuals are asked not to share false information.
