<p>The tech giant said it now prohibits advertising that creates “a sense of urgency” about the Covid-19 illness, such as those that “imply a limited supply, or guarantee a cure or prevention”.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>This includes ads with claims such as face masks are 100% guaranteed to prevent the spread of the virus.</p>
<p>The rules also extend to those trying to sell related items on the social network’s Marketplace platform.</p>
<p>Facebook already began cracking down on posts that promote fake miracle cures for coronavirus, such as false suggestions that drinking bleach is a solution.</p>
<p>“While we allow people to buy and sell masks on Facebook, we are taking a closer look at this group,” a Facebook spokesman said.</p>
<blockquote><p>We recently implemented a policy to prohibit ads that refer to the coronavirus and create a sense of urgency, like implying a limited supply, or guaranteeing a cure or prevention.</p></blockquote>
<p>The announcement comes as scientists are racing to find a treatment, health crews are scrubbing everything from money to buses, and quarantines are being enforced in places from a beachfront resort in the Atlantic to an uninhabited island in the Pacific as the world battles the spread of a new virus.</p>

<p>Concern is also growing over the economic fallout of the coronavirus outbreak, with work at many factories halted, trade routes frozen and tourism crippled, while a growing list of countries brace for the illness to claim new territory.</p>
<p>Even the Tokyo Olympics, five months away, are not far enough off to keep people from wondering if they will go ahead as planned.</p>
<p>About 81,000 people around the globe have now been infected with Covid-19, and that number continues to increase as it spreads.</p>
<p>In Europe, Germany, France and Spain are among the places with a growing caseload – with an expanding cluster of more than 200 cases in northern Italy eyed as a source for those transmissions.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>In the Middle East, where cases have increased in Bahrain, Kuwait and Iraq, blame is being directed towards Iran amid fears the extent of the outbreak there has been underestimated.</p>
<p>In Asia, where the crisis originated late last year in China, threats continue to emerge around the region, with South Korea battling a mass outbreak centred in the 2.5 million-person city of Daegu.</p>
