The World Health Organization have written a very useful post on navigating the continuous stream of information regarding COVID-19.

We are receive this information through multiple channels every day, and not all of it is reliable.
Includes info on the following:
· Assessing the source
· Going beyond the headlines
· Identifying the author
· Checking the date
· Examining supporting evidence
· Checking your biases
· Consult a fact-checker
Our training sessions on ‘Finding the Evidence’ and ‘Critical Appraisal’ also give you the skills to quickly find and assess the evidence that you are reading.
