Abstract
[Extract]. On 15 February 2020, during the Munich Security Conference, the Director of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stated that the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic was accompanied by a fight against an “infodemic”, leading to a series of initiatives by the WHO and other organizations to face this challenge. This situation is not new: others have occurred during other health emergencies, but never one of the current magnitude, resulting from the increased use of digital applications. In the age of digital interdependence, this phenomenon is amplified by the convergence of increased access to mobile devices, internet access, and the use of social networks, which are spreading it like a virus, further and faster than ever before. [...] Official English translation from the original Spanish manuscript made by the Pan American Health Organization. In case of discrepancy, the original version (Spanish) shall prevail.
