COVID-19 misinformation

COVID-19 misinformation refers to false or misleading information about the virus, its spread, prevention, and treatment. This can include myths, rumors, or conspiracy theories that lack scientific evidence. Such misinformation can cause confusion, promote unsafe behaviors, or undermine public health efforts. It spreads easily through social media, messaging apps, and sometimes even traditional media. To stay safe, rely on trusted sources like the World Health Organization (WHO) or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for accurate information. Critical thinking and checking facts before sharing can help combat misinformation and protect community health.
