Stopping the COVID-19 Infodemic

With support from the Canadian Department of Heritage and the Digital Citizen Contribution Program, Northumberland County is offering free online learning sessions on the topic of "Stopping the COVID-19 Infodemic".

The purpose of this session is to demonstrate how you can help to halt the spread of misinformation in the current COVID-10 "infodemic". The course will focus on:

• fact-checking COVID-19 information
• confirming what authoritative health sites say
• reading beyond the headline
