Four practical strategies that we could abide to prevent ourselves from spreading false news about a life threatening disease such as Covid-19 are-
- By countering misinformation:
Inspect the facts behind the information about the virus and it's spread on the website of WHO.
WHO is the main official website providing accurate information on Corona virus disease.
- Check before Sharing:
During these days infodemic is as dangerous as the virus itself. False information about the virus and false measures for the cure related to covid-19 hinder the fight against illness. So, if you check before sharing it may reduce the spread.
- Keep politics out of this
Don't discriminate on the basis of the political views. They are democratic and providing information on regional basis. Virus has no relation with politics, so don't get influenced by politics. Don't be biased.
- Always check the source of information
Should assess when having a look on social media, because of the rumors and misinformation provided hugely by the social media platform in the form of memes, videos and photos from different sources.
The WHO launched official platform on social media to provide accurate information about the disease virus.
