An infodemic cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed. To respond effectively to infodemics, WHO calls for adaptation, development, validation and evaluation of new evidence-based measures and practices to prevent, detect and respond to mis- and disinformation.
1st WHO Infodemiology Conference takes place from 29 June to 21 July 2020. The conference consists of 1 pre-conference event, 1 science conference session and 1 public webinar.
