FACT CHECK
Since the post is being shared excessively, we fact-checked the claim.
We found no such information available on any verified media outlets.
We also tracked the background of the person who had tweeted this and found multiple posts that targeted Muslims.
Additionally, we found multiple news articles online which stated that action can be taken against people who reveal the identity of any Coronavirus victims.
This goes on to show that revealing identity-related details of Coronavirus cases is not allowed.
Hence, the posts are not derived from any factual information and thus constitute fake news.
