WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts.

The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice.
