Belgium bans non-essential sexual activities to combat the spread of Covid-19.

The disclaimer on the World News Daily Report website proves that it is an untrustworthy website and hence the news about Belgium sex ban is fake.

A viral message about Belgium Health Minister Maggie de Block announcement that sexual activities of persons 3 or more are banned in Belgium to combat the spread of COVID-19 originated from an article by the World News Daily Report website on 28 March 2020.

We verified the trustworthiness of the said website by checking the ABOUT US section. The disclaimer stated that the website may contain partial or incorrect information. All characters appearing in the articles on the website are entirely fictional. Hence we concluded that the Health Minister's statement on sex ban is a piece of fake news.

The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a lot of potentially dangerous misinformation. For reliable advice on COVID-19 including symptoms, prevention and available treatment, please refer to the World Health Organisation or your national healthcare authority.
