Residents in Milton Keynes are being warned about a fake voice message currently circulating on social media about ambulances in the area.
According to national media, the message claims that ambulances 'won't be sent out from Thursday' and that 'one-third of deaths will babies, children and teenagers with no underlying health issues'.
In a statement posted online, South Central Ambulance Service, who cover Milton Keynes, said: "We are aware of a voice message being shared currently on social media regarding the ambulance response to coronavirus."
"The alarmist information being shared in the message is not correct. We would urge people to disregard the message and not share it further."
"In line with our ongoing plans during this challenging time, we are continuing to follow national guidelines regarding the ambulance response and thank the public for their ongoing support in following the government’s advice."
