Coronavirus (18) Misinformation (4)

29 March, 2020

Hi Ben, [Ben Margetts, Zambia: http://www.hifa.org/dgroups-rss/coronavirus-12-misinformation-3 )

Thank you for highlighting the problem of misinformation on social media.

Maybe the MoH could use social media to send reliable information? Would anyone like to comment? Perhaps we have HIFA-Zambia members at the MoH who are already considering this? I am actually not sure if MoHs are doing this effectively in other countries - I shall try to find out and get back to you.

Regards,
