The Sun has partnered with Gigafact to find out the truth behind the claims made by the virus.
Fact Briefs examine questions that arise from online conversations about policy, politics, and current events and provide definitive yes or no answers in 150 words or less that are supported by facts. To do. We will not consider opinions or address claims where definitive sources are not available or where a clear answer is lacking.
Each item links to the original claim found online and to the sources on which we based our fact-checking, so readers can follow our steps. The finished product is researched and written by Sun reporters and checked by Sun editors in collaboration with the team at Gigafact.
We search social media sites and other online sources to see if the claims are substantive, relevant, and attention-grabbing.
