COVID-19 Infodemic

The COVID-19 infodemic refers to the overabundance of information—both accurate and inaccurate—during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This rapid and widespread proliferation of information makes it difficult for individuals and researchers to identify trustworthy sources and reliable guidance.
