Online misinformation proliferation during the COVID-19 pandemic has become a major public health concern. The high infectivity and severity of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19), particularly in susceptible populations (e.g., the elderly and those with chronic conditions) have posed serious challenges to public health and caused a sharp increase in cases around the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) and governments must also deal with a "infodemic," which makes it difficult for people to identify reliable sources among an abundance of information, in addition to coordinating the response to the COVID-19 global health catastrophe. There are many preventive and interventive strategies to prevent and control it.
