World Health Organization (WHO) - COVID19 Infodemics

Information can spread faster than a virus. With rapid growth of digital communications and social media platforms, information spreads fast from online to our physical lives. Online information can negatively affect our psychology, daily lives, and behaviours worsening the ongoing crisis at hand.

During a health emergency, an infodemic can drown out reliable information, and allow rumors to spread more easily- impeding an effective public health response. Infodemics make it difficult to recognise accurate and reliable information that tells people what preventative actions they should take.

Trans.Lieu was tasked to produce an animation video explaining what an infodemic actually is as well as describing some of the simple actions you can do to mitigate the infodemic.
