In response to “Will nuclear radiation from MRI examination cause cancer?”, the “Scientific Rumor Refutation” public account responded:
After verification, this content is inconsistent with the facts. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses no X-rays at all and carries no radiation risk. As for X-rays, some medical imaging techniques, including CT scans, do involve the use of ionizing radiation, and during medical examinations, the radiation dose is strictly controlled and managed to minimize the patient's radiation exposure. For most people, the benefits of having these imaging tests when needed far outweigh the potential risks. In summary, there is no need to avoid X-ray examinations or CT scans due to concerns about radiation when X-ray examinations are performed occasionally.
In response to “A single hospitalization cannot exceed 15 days, otherwise medical insurance will not reimburse?”, the National Medical Insurance Bureau responded:
After verification, this rumor is false. Officials stated that restrictive regulations such as “a single hospitalization shall not exceed 15 days” have never been issued. For a few medical institutions, the “average” of the medical insurance payment standard has been changed to the “limit” and forced patients to use the reason of “the medical insurance limit has reached”. In the case of discharge, transfer or self-pay hospitalization, the National Medical Insurance Bureau firmly opposes and welcomes the public to report to the local medical insurance department, or directly to the National Medical Insurance Bureau.

In response to “'China Sky Eye' has become a 'garbage dump'?”, the “Guizhou Rumor Refuting” WeChat public account responded:
After verification, this content is a rumor. Such rumors have appeared in 2020. The picture posted on the Internet is actually a picture of the collapse of the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, USA. It is not the 500-meter aperture spherical radio telescope in Pingtang County, Guizhou Province, my country – the “China Sky Eye” ( FAST).
Regarding “Hundreds of people were injured in the 4.7-magnitude earthquake in Shangri-La City, Diqing, Yunnan?”, the Yunnan Internet Joint Rumor Refuting Platform responded:
After verification, this news is inconsistent with the facts. The official response was that no reports of casualties were received on April 9, and local communications, power supply, and traffic were normal. In order to attract attention and increase traffic, some self-media companies used means such as piecing together old pictures and videos from the Internet to publish false pictures, texts, audio and video information about the Shangri-La earthquake, which seriously misled netizens.

Regarding “The raw water source of Suijiang River in Guangdong is insufficient, will water supply be provided in time periods?”, the “Four Sessions Release” WeChat public account responded:
After verification, this information is a rumor. Officials stated that all equipment in the water plant is operating normally, the tap water source is sufficient, and the water quality meets national standards and can meet daily tap water needs. There is no problem of insufficient water sources or water supply at different times. Citizens are asked to use it with confidence. All information related to people's livelihood matters shall be subject to the official platform.
Regarding “If a gas tank catches fire, will it backfire and explode if you just close the valve?”, the “Qinghai Firefighting” WeChat public account responded:
After verification, this rumor is false. The gas tank is a large pressure vessel. The gas is compressed from a gaseous state into a liquid state and stored inside at high pressure. The internal pressure of the gas tank is much higher than the atmospheric pressure outside. This pressure difference allows the gas to spray outwards, so there will be no problem of returning inward. In other words, directly closing the valve will not cause a “backfire explosion” transmitted through the network.
Regarding “Online ride-hailing was chased by the transportation department, resulting in 2 deaths and 1 injury?”, Xi'an Public Security responded:
After verification, this content is inconsistent with the facts. Officials responded that the actual situation was that staff from the Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment and people at the scene rescued a car that had rolled over on the side of the road. Someone used the live video to fabricate and spread false information that “the government officials were chasing a car, causing two deaths and one injury.” At present, the rumor mongers have been summoned to the public security organs and administratively detained in accordance with the law.
