On Wednesday, Lebanese media uncovered the truth behind iconic Lebanese singer, Fairuz contracting the Coronavirus, and isolating under the supervision of her daughter, Rima.
In a statement, Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) denied the news, stating that WhatsApp groups are circulating false statements attributed to Hamad Hassan, the Minister of Health in the caretaker government on Fairuz's infection with the deadly virus.
NNA noted that the rumor promoter claimed that Rima confirmed her mother's infection, revealing that Fairuz is fine and has only experienced the usual symptoms, and she has started the home-isolation measures.
The agency added: "This news is completely baseless and the NNA has nothing to do with it."
