A video is being circulated with the claim that the mortal remains of those who succumbed to the coronavirus, were dumped in a sea in Mexico with the help of choppers. Users shared the same on Twitter and Facebook too. Alt News found the video was from 2018 and shared by a Russian handle that said, “The release of paratroopers – athletes from the Mi-26 chopper.” So, the video is unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic.
