Tipperary have slammed a "fake news item" posted on social media regarding the county and coronavirus.
The Tipperary hurlers have become the latest victims of a false rumour regarding the killer virus.
In a statement, Tipperary GAA have asked people to delete the message and not to forward it on to others.
The statement reads: "Unfortunately, at this time of crisis, some unknown individual or individuals has issued a false message doing the rounds on social media purporting to be from the Tipperary SH manager.
"This is wholly inaccurate fake news and is causing unnecessary concern to all parties. I appeal if you have received it, to delete immediately and not to forward.
"The fight against Covid-19 must continue. Messages like this and others on social media are certainly not helping that cause.
"Be safe everyone and please do not spread any fake news, whatever its content. Together and united we will prevail."
