A screenshot of what appears to be a Covid-19 emergency text alert has been shared repeatedly on Facebook in March 2021 alongside a claim that it was sent out by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The claim is false: according to South Korean government's database and a Seoul offical, the purported alert is fake; the phone number seen in the text message is also inactive.
