Fact Check

NewsMobile closely analysed the video and towards the end observed that a banner on the video states ‘2019’.
Towards the end, it also showed masked individuals carrying a gun, which appeared unrelated to the Coronavirus.

We went to YouTube and looked up “Senegal Airport” when the original video showed up. It belonged to Dakaractu TV. The caption read: Full-scale test of the Dakar Blaise Diagne Airport emergency plan.
Hence, this proves that the video is unrelated to Coronavirus.
