Children these days, eh? Some kids at TikTok have been seen using substances such as orange juice or Coca-Cola to create false positive Covid tests so they do not go to school.
An account dedicated to the rogue trick had more than 20,000 followers before it was deactivated and other videos were distributed through the hashtag #fakecovidtest, the search results of which were deleted, reports The Independent.
Some people are complaining that their children have to self isolate yet it's the children who are faking positive covid tests just so they dont have to go to school !!! https://t.co/kQjC28odtk
