iPhone virus detection

I received a popup message on my iPhone 8 from Apple Security telling me (3) viruses have been detected and the battery has been infected and damaged. Is this a legitimate message?

iPhone 8, iOS 13

It is a scam. Close the offending page, and avoid sites that are involved in such bogus advertising tactics.
