Background An infodemic is an overabundance of information—some accurate and some not—that occurs during epidemic. In a similar manner to epidemic, it spreads between humans via digital physical information systems. It makes hard for people find trustworthy sources reliable guidance when they need it. Objective A World Health Organization (WHO) technical consultation on responding the related coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic was held, entirely online, crowdsource suggested actions...
