| Abstract: | On 15 February 2020, during the Munich Security Conference(1), the Director of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr.Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stated that the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic was accompanied by a fight against an “infodemic”, leading to a series of initiatives by the WHO and other organizations to face this challenge. This situation is not new: others have occurred during other health emergen-cies, but never one of the current magnitude, resulting from the increased use of digital applications (2). In the age of digital interdependence, this phenomenon is amplified by the conver-gence of increased access to mobile devices, internet access, and the use of social networks, which are spreading it like a virus, further and faster than ever before (3). |
