Our Analysis – The above news that Ebola virus is spreading in Karnataka, India is fake. It has been confirmed by Karnataka Minister. He has also asked the DHO to file case against Ebola rumours. It was confirmed in livemint –
This rumour was spread in August in year 2016 and seems to be back again.
Conclusion – Please do not believe in rumours and ebola has never come to Karnataka. It is a fake news.
