(CNN) - Twitter said Wednesday that it restricted President Donald Trump's campaigning ability to tweet after his account shared a video containing false claims about the coronavirus.
The tweet, a video of Trump's interview with Fox News in which he said children are "almost immune" to the virus, "violates Twitter Rules on misinformation from covid-19," a Twitter spokesperson said in a release. "The account owner will need to delete the tweet before he can re-tweet."

The account appeared to have the ability to tweet after the Twitter statement, suggesting that the campaign had complied with the order and removed the video.
Just hours earlier, Facebook removed a post from Trump's front page with the same interview for similar reasons.
CNN has reached out to the Trump campaign and Twitter for comment.
