It’s not just pandemic but its “infodemic”: WHO

Kathmandu: The World Health Organization (WHO) says the world is not only fighting the pandemic, but also what it calls an “infodemic” – where an overload of information, some of it false, makes it difficult for people to make decisions about their health.

According to the BBC, researchers have been moving at a record speed to develop vaccines. The WHO is monitoring data from more than 200 vaccine trials.

The information about the pandemic has been coming in parts as there are many scientific discoveries happening around the world.  The researchers say this has created space for misinformation about the pandemic.
