Impacts of misinformation during the Pandemic

  1. The indirect and direct impacts, such as instances of 5G towers being burned down due to conspiracy theories linking them to Coronavirus (Parveen and Waterson, 2020)
  2. The misinformation surrounding COVID-19 pandemic is especially damaging, since any mis-steps can pose a serious public health risk by leading to exponential spread of the disease and accidental death due to self-medication (Vigdor, 2020 )
