Today, many adults have been exposed to false claims or misleading information online about the Coronavirus.

Here are a few tips to help you tackle misinformation.

• Stop and think: If you have any doubts about something’s accuracy, don’t share it.

• Check the source: The most reliable sources of information on Coronavirus are public health bodies, such as the World Health Organization.

• Pay attention to quality: Reputable sources have high standards when it comes to grammar and presentation. Typos and old formatting may be an indicator of inaccuracy.

• Beware of emotional posts and consider biases: We are more likely to share content that corresponds with our own opinion or that excites powerful emotions, but doesn’t necessarily mean it’s accurate.

Stay home, stay safe, stay informed.
