UN Secretary-General: This is a Time for Science and Solidarity

15 აპრილი 2020

  • As the world fights the deadly COVID-19 pandemic,  we are also seeing another epidemic -- a dangerous epidemic of misinformation, the message by the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres reads.

In his words, Yet the global ‘misinfo-demic’ is spreading. Harmful health advice and snake-oil solutions are proliferating. Falsehoods are filling the airwaves. Wild conspiracy theories are infecting the Internet,” the Secretary-General stated.

’This is a time for science and solidarity”, he said. “First, trust in science. I salute the journalists and others fact-checking the mountain of misleading stories and social media posts”.

"Around the world, people are scared. They want to know what to do and where to turn for advice. Hatred is going viral, stigmatizing and vilifying people and groups. The world must unite against this disease too."
