As the world responds to the COVID-19 pandemic, we face the challenge of an overabundance of information related to the virus. Some of this information may be false and potentially harmful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
World Health Organization (WHO) offers nine social media platforms<\/a> on which one may report misinformation about COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The platforms are a product of cooperation between national heatlh authorities and the World Health Organization, which began with the joint Stop the Spread<\/strong><\/a> campaign in May-June 2020. “Stop the Spread” encouraged the use of trusted sources such as WHO and national health authorities for accurate COVID-19 information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new phase of the joint campaign focuses on proactively identifying and reporting potentially wrong or misleading information, as part of WHO’s efforts to address the spread of inaccurate and harmful information during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
