You have asked us in the WhatsApp to Verifartve for a chain of messages that say that a new telephone number of attention on the Coronavirus has been opened, 900102112, for the collapse of emergency lines 112 and 061.The number exists and has been valid for months in the Community of Madrid, but the bulre of the "collapse" is old and circulates linked to that phone or others in areas where the line of attention does not work.The bully has also circulated with other telephone numbers in other autonomous communities.
In the viral text it reads: “I share it because they are collapsing the lines of 112 and 061 many citizens that all they want is information and the person who is giving a heart attack is stopped attending (many cases are being given like thisexample)".Information is not attributed to any specific geographical zone, but the chain has circulated for example in Cantabria, and its government has denied its veracity reminding the population the correct number.
The chain is practically equal to this one that we denied you in October 2020, and that also gave as an example a person "to whom she is giving a heart attack" and that allegedly was neglected by other calls on the coronavirus.Then the information was linked to another number, the 900400061, and we took the opportunity to remind you of the correct attention lines throughout Spain.
The phone 900102112 that is now included in the message is the number that the Community of Madrid reinforced in March 2020 to meet doubts about the Coronavirus.We have talked to the press service of this autonomous community and confirms that it is still active.It is also used to notify the positive self -diagnostic tests that need work leave.
The same spokesman also tells us that the collapse mentioned in WhatsApp is not being given.And in the 061 of Andalusia he has also indicated that there is no such situation: "It remains the same bulre last year and the previous one".
The message has also circulated with a false number attributed to the community of Navarra (9003005555).The Foral Government has explained however that it does not correspond to its attention line.It is actually the COVID-19 number of the Valencian Community and all these messages contribute to misinformation.
