Emerging story
A video says that an Indian hospital alleges you can find out if you have COVID-19 by breathing test.
“If you can hold your breath till the red dot moves to point B, you are disease resistant. Simple lung function test. Give it a trial. Simple COVID-19 test.”
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar's investigation found the claim inaccurate. The World Health Organization does not mention anything about the test on its official website.
We searched for the video on the Ananta Hospital's Facebook page because the logo of the hospital was on the bottom of the video, but we didn't find anything.
It's obvious that the video is not related to the hospital. There is no evidence supporting such a technique that can find if you are affected by COVID-19.
