Myth busters: advice for the public
- There is a lot of misinformation about coronavirus, how do I know what is correct? A new GOV.UK WhatsApp Coronavirus Information Service has now been launched to combat the spread of misinformation.
- To use the service, members of the public simply add +44 7860 064422 to their contacts and send a WhatsApp message saying “Hi”.
- In addition, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has produced a webpage which tackles some misconceptions.
Healthwatch Brighton and Hove has published a separate guide to local health and social care services in Brighton and Hove. This provides information about changes to local services. You can access this separate guide by clicking here
