Dr Angela Pratt: Whenever there’s an outbreak of a disease, and especially in the current
outbreak of this new coronavirus, misinformation and rumors can spread much more quickly than
the virus itself. And it can be just as dangerous. That’s because when people have the wrong
information, they can make decisions which are actually harmful to themselves and to others. For
example, people are sharing information online about treatments that are not proven. We’re also
seeing fear based on misinformation, driving stigma and discrimination towards Chinese people.
At WHO we’re very focused working with our partners and our member states on getting the right
information out to the people who need it. It’s in fact one of the really important things that we do
to support countries in a disease outbreak. In all of our response teams on the ground we have
risk communications experts embedded as part of those teams so we can support countries to be
getting the right information out to their populations too. We know that the best way you can
protect yourself and your family is to wash your hands all the time. If you’re coughing or
sneezing, cover your mouth with your elbow. If you’re around somebody who is sick, stay away
from them, try to stay at least one meter away. And if you’re sick yourself stay home so you don’t
risk infecting others. If you’re really sick, if you’re having trouble breathing or if you have a fever,
please seek medical advice. But call ahead so that the health clinic of health facility knows that
you are coming. We at WHO will continue to stay focused on getting out this kind of information
to the public. But we need your help. Please don’t share misinformation or the wrong facts online
with your friends and families. But please do share information from us at WHO as well as advice
from your local health authorities. Thank you very much.
