Cities in the Yanbian Korea autonomous prefecture in northeastern Jilin province pick up passengers from South Korea before sending them to their destinations. Facebook said Wednesday that it is banning ads that make false claims about products tied to the new coronavirus that emeregd in China and spread to 39 countries. Ads that guarantee a cure or prevention are also banned, it said. For instance, ads for face masks that claim the products are 100 percent guaranteed to prevent the spread of the virus are not allowed, the company said. Facebook had previously banned ads, along with regular unpaid posts, that peddle fake cures such as drinking bleach, spread conspiracy theories about the virus, or discourage people from seeking medical treatment.-AP
