FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above post and found the claim attached with the video to be FAKE.
On putting the keyframes of the video through Reverse Image Search on the Russian search engine Yandex we came across the same video on YouTube posted on October 24th, 2019, which was before the first case of Coronavirus got reported in China in December 2019.
The caption of the video in Portuguese read: “Berne ou tapuru é o nome dado à infestação pela larva da mosca Dermatobia hominis”
(Translation: Berne or tapuru is the name given to the infestation by the larvae of the fly Dermatobia hominis)
However, NewsMobile cannot independently verify the origin of the video, but the above information proves that the viral video is not related to Coronavirus.
