Everyone’s looking for the latest information on health, and how to protect you and your family from the coronavirus in these uncertain times.
But with misinformation rife – and dangerous – it's important to make sure you get the facts, not falsehoods. Hoaxes and health scares add to peoples’ anxiety at a time like this, particularly if they’re vulnerable or elderly.
From the rumour that 5G is causing Covid-19, to the myth that sipping water every hour stops you catching it, misinformation is everywhere.
Scams can pop up on your phone too, with fake texts supposedly from the Government, promising financial help or warning of a fine for breaking lockdown.
