There is so much misinformation about the coronavirus and its transmission going around social media. Many people are wondering who they can turn to for solid advice that isn’t based on false information or fear, and the World Health Organization is doing a great job of providing clarity. Here is a link to their page to eliminate the misinformation that has been put out there, such as these false facts:
-using a hairdryer to kill the virus (exposing anything to high temperatures greater than 77 degrees F)
-if you can hold your breath for 10 seconds without coughing, you don’t have COVID-19.
