The situation of COVID-19 is evolving rapidly and things have changed drastically in a few months. Information on the virus and how to protect ourselves continues to pour to the public .
Knowing the facts is key to being properly prepared and protecting yourself and your loved ones. Sadly, there’s a lot of information out there that is incorrect. Misinformation during a health crisis leaves people unprotected and vulnerable to the disease and spreads fear and stigmatization.
