Category:

Topic:

  • Results from a cross-sectional online survey of 6,000 adults in the US and UK show the misconceptions of COVID-19 among the general public. Government agencies, media, and healthcare workers could launch information campaigns to target these misconceptions, which could help reduce anxiety around COVID-19 and ensure the public is well-informed.
