Are you a parent? Now that you are spending more time at home, why not teach your child how to spot false content and rumours?
Find a piece of information online that is confirmed as disinformation, and ask your child these questions?
Who made this? For whom was this made? Is it from a reliable source?
During the COVID-19 outbreak, only trust official information sources and credible media outlets. Do not share unverified information. This is a message from UNESCO
