A Texas man has been arrested after he lied about having coronavirus in a social media post.

Michael Lane Brandin, 23, said in a Facebook post that he tested positive at Tyler County Hospital on Friday.

The post now appears to have been removed.

'In a comment on the post, Brandin advised that he was informed by medical professionals in Tyler County that the virus had become airborne,' police said in a statement.

It caused panic on phone lines for both the hospital and authorities.
