The COVID-19 epidemic is becoming a topic of discussion for everyone. Information about this virus and how to prevent it is everywhere. Capturing credentials is key to properly preparing and protecting yourself and your loved ones. However, the sad reality is that nowadays fake news is rampant. In the context of a health crisis, misinformation can make people ineffective and vulnerable to epidemics, and spread fear and stigma.
Actively follow official sources such as UNICEF or the World Health Organization (WHO). UNICEF is working 24/7 with health professionals around the globe to provide people with accurate information. Reliable information should be based on the latest scientific evidence. We will continue to provide updates on the epidemic, explain to parents and teachers, and document the media as news becomes available. Therefore, regularly check the UNICEF website for updates on best practices to protect yourself and your family.
