⚠️ PUBLIC ALERT ‼️ Fake News


 Saturday 9 May 2026

⚠️ PUBLIC ALERT ‼️
The Eastern Cape Department of Health categorically states that reports of a “Hantavirus outbreak” at Grey Hospital are false, according to the information currently available to the department.
A fake notice has been circulated and is misleading the public. There is no such outbreak at the facility.
The public is urged not to share unverified information and to rely only on official Department of Health communications.
The spreading of false information by persons not qualified nor authorised to do so, is irresponsible and causes unnecessary panic.
It is also unlawful. Any such persons involved in spreading false information can face criminal charges.
