    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, Aug 6:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Former West Indies captain Brian Lara has denied rumours about him testing positive for coronavirus, saying it was a &quot;false&quot; information.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rumours were making rounds on social media with many posts stating that the legendary West Indies batsman has been diagnosed with COVID-19. However, Lara clarified that he did get tested for the virus and the result came out negative.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He further asked people not to use the pandemic as a tool for spreading negativity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Hi everyone, I have read all the circulating rumours regarding me testing positive for the coronavirus and it is important I clarify the facts. Not only is this information false, but it is also detrimental to spread such panic in a community already feeling the distress of the COVID situation,&quot; Lara said in an Instagram post.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;While you haven&#39;t personally affected me, what causes concern is that spread of wrongful information is careless and causes unnecessary worry amongst a lot of people that would have been in my circle. This virus isn&#39;t something we should be using in a negative manner to create sensationalism. I hope and pray that all of us remain safe because as is noticeable COVID 19 is going nowhere in the near future,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Over 7 lakh people across the world have so far lost their lives due to COVID-19.<\/p>\r\n",
