Evaluating COVID-19 Information

While information has helped people stay safe and healthy, incorrect information sometimes increases confusion about health-related issues. Many people are suffering as a result of incorrect information. This type of information can be spread widely very quickly because it is easy to share. Misinformation, disinformation, and mal-information can spread through many different ways, such as word of mouth, social media, e-mail, and text, which may seem valid at first, but is the information coming from a credible source?

The County of San Diego has declared medical misinformation a public health crisis and is working to create a space to help you get accurate and reliable information from credible sources.
