Never before has the quality and accuracy of the information we are consuming mattered on such an immediate and global scale. While social media platforms and communication apps must play their role in removing misinformation, individuals also have a responsibility to check what they are sharing. With this in mind, FactCheckNI have put together a guide to accessing information on COVID-19.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, it is important to go back to the basic principles of fact checking. As fact checkers, we tell everyone that fact checking can and should be done by anyone. FactCheckNI has an <a href=\"https:\/\/factcheckni.org\/toolkit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">online toolkit<\/a> with lots of resources and useful links around fact checking in general, to help you stop, think and check before sharing anything online. Some questions to help stamp out false information on COVID-19 are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Where\u2019s it from?<\/strong><br>If you don\u2019t know the source of the information, check out the about page or ask yourself why they\u2019re sharing the story.<\/li><li><strong>What\u2019s missing?<\/strong><br>One click can help you spot false information. Read the whole story and watch out for images, numbers, and quotes that don\u2019t have sources or that might have been taken out of context. Also check what other people\/sources are saying. A quick cross reference of a story, or piece of information, can help reveal any inconsistencies.<\/li><li><strong>How does it make you feel?<\/strong><br>People who want false information to spread try to manipulate your feelings. They know that making you angry, upset or worried means they\u2019re more likely to get clicks and shares. If it\u2019s winding you up, stop and think how you could check it before you share \u2014 this will reduce the chances of your sharing false information and adding to the anxiety we all feel about COVID-19.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To this end, you can also check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/factcheckni.org\/blog\/a-beginners-guide-to-fact-checking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beginner\u2019s Guide to Fact Checking<\/a>. The five simple questions of \u201cWho? What? When? Where? Why?\u201d can make all the difference in how you engage with information on COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard of the fact checked material you are accessing is also important. Fact checking organisations who are verified by the International Fact Checking Network (IFCN) work under the fundamental principles of impartiality, transparency and accuracy. Many are debunking so much of the misinformation about COVID-19 on a global scale. For the UK and Ireland they are <a href=\"https:\/\/factcheckni.org\/category\/facts\/covid19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FactCheckNI<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fullfact.org\/health\/coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Full Fact<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thejournal.ie\/covid19-facts\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TheJournal.ie<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/theferret.scot\/coronavirus-myths-fact-check-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Ferret<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A remarkable global fact checking effort on COVID-19 has been ongoing since January this year. Led by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) at the Poynter Institute, the <strong>#CoronaVirusFacts\/#DatosCoronaVirus Alliance<\/strong> has united more than 100 fact checkers around the world in publishing, sharing and translating facts surrounding COVID-19. Find the completed database of identified misinformation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poynter.org\/ifcn-covid-19-misinformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>World Health Organisation (WHO)<\/strong> has a comprehensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/emergencies\/diseases\/novel-coronavirus-2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">web page<\/a> dedicated to COVID-19 pandemic, which is updated with all the latest updates on the virus. They give daily updates on the number of confirmed cases, deaths and countries\/regions\/territories where they have been identified. They also have a specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/emergencies\/diseases\/novel-coronavirus-2019\/advice-for-public\/myth-busters\">\u201cMyth-Busting\u201d resource<\/a>, which addresses specific false claims regarding COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WHO have also released a WhatsApp messaging service. It provides the latest news and information on coronavirus including details on symptoms and how people can protect themselves and others. It also disseminates the latest situation reports and numbers in real time to help government decision makers protect the health of their populations. It can be accessed by <strong>texting \u201chi\u201d to +41 22 501 76 55 on WhatsApp<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Checking with trusted and reliable sources will ensure that we are all informed and play our individual part in what has to be a collective effort against misinformation in relation to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/doctor-holding-mobile-phone-displaying-coronavirus-information-d-illustration-doctor-holding-mobile-phone-displaying-coronavirus-image176243097\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Doctor Holding Mobile Phone<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/vivilweb_info\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vivelweb<\/a> used by license <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dreamstime.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>FactCheckNI is Northern Ireland\u2019s first and only dedicated independent fact checking service and a <a href=\"https:\/\/ifcncodeofprinciples.poynter.org\/profile\/factcheckni\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">verified signatory<\/a> to the International Fact-Checking Network\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poynter.org\/ifcn-fact-checkers-code-of-principles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Code of Principles<\/a>.
