The image has been circulating on social media attached to a number of different captions, including –
In case you’re still not convinced to stay home for you & ur beloved ones…
Here’s a picture from Italy.
Stop making mockery of CORONAVIRUS. CORONAVIRUS is real. See what happened in Italy. All these died in one day
The image is completely unrelated to the 2019 coronavirus and COVID-19 outbreak.
The image of the coffins is actually from 2013, and is from an incident where a large boat containing migrants travelling from Libya to Italy sank in the Mediterranean Sea, killing more than 360 people.
