Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

In case any victim is suspected from the spinal or neck injury then the victim should not be moved on any side. He must be left untouched.

Doing so can make the person permanently paralysed. Try to cover the front and back of the neck with rolled piece of clothe but do not move the person unnecessarily.

Hence, the given statement is False.
