In the current COVID-19 situation, when people are restrained physically, the internet use has increased widely. Fighting an unknown, unseen enemy, with no definite cure in sight, lots of misinformation and disinformation is being circulated on the social media platforms. Write a letter to the editor of a national daily to create awareness among the people about everything we find online is not true. You are Rohit/Rekha.

Sir,
Sub: Awareness on the truth of online content
We are in a difficult situation worldwide due to the pandemic situation. It is important that we stay informed and positive to tide over the COVID-19 period. Unfortunately, we find that lots of misinformation is being spread about the disease and its cure in many social media and other online platforms. Statistics is misinterpreted leading to panic among the public. I request that we create awareness among the people that everything we find online is not true. As a popular daily in this country, I'm sure you can reach the public and create this awareness effectively. Kindly consider my request.
Thanking you.
Yours Sincerely,
Rekha
