The COVID-19 Infodemic: Ensuring universal access to credible health
information
Tuesday 23 March 2021 from 12:00-13:00 CET
The COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by a surge of information,
some accurate and some not. Information gaps and a mix of misinformation and
malicious disinformation have also led to confusion around the choices we
are making to protect ourselves and each other. This can lead to harmful
behaviours and erode social cohesion. Improving the management of this
‘infodemic’ is critical for a successful pandemic response. So how do we
manage an infodemic? What tools and techniques can we add to our toolkit?
Where do we need more research and innovation to strengthen the global
response? Join us in this webinar to find out!

This webinar is part of a series of webinars which draws lessons from
country experiences based on the
COVID-19 Health System Response Monitor (HSRM) - a joint undertaking
with the WHO Regional Office for Europe, the European Commission and the
European Observatory. The COVID-19 HSRM builds on the expertise of the
Health Systems and Policy Monitor network and the WHO Country Offices
and the knowledge and work of colleagues in the Regional Office and DG
SANTE who are dealing with the pandemic and supporting countries. The
webinar series is indebted to them all.
