Handbook for media: the coronavirus and COVID-19

July 27, 2022/in Clinical/Technical Guidance, Technical Briefs BBC Media Action Global English COVID-19 Response, Engagement, Rumors and Misinformation Journalists/by Shane Harper

The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 can spread rapidly and cause a lot of harm. But if communities respond appropriately and quickly, it is possible to limit its spread and the damage it causes. Mass media and communication have an absolutely vital role to play in this effort.

BBC Media Action has developed this handbook to help media support their audiences to face
this health emergency and manage the infodemic.
