Thank you Secretary-General @antonioguterres & @MelissaFleming for your strong efforts to fight #COVID19 misinformation. Communication is one of the vital tools for fighting this pandemic. We are happy to be part of this joint initiative to reach more people with science & facts. https://twitter.com/antonioguterres/status/1263501443786575872

António Guterres@antonioguterres

As #COVID19 spreads, a tsunami of misinformation, hate, scapegoating and scare-mongering has been unleashed.

That is why we are launching ‘Verified’ - an initiative to share science-based, factual advice and stories celebrating the best of humanity.

Thank you @novonordisk for your donation of #insulin to @WHO for distribution to 50 low- and middle-income countries. It is essential that people with noncommunicable diseases, such as diabetes, continue to have access to life-saving drugs during #COVID19. https://bit.ly/2A2j7Fe
