- Read all the updates issued on WHO website.
- Do not join the groups where such messages are posted regularly. Avoid such websites that take real information and then repackage it with false and misleading information.

We must check the authenticity of the message first only then we should forward it, if the message or information is not important then we should stop sharing it altogether. Take some extra time and read the full news or article and make sure that the content and source is trust worthy.
