CCOUC Director Professor Emily Chan, as a Co-Chair of the WHO COVID-19 Research Roadmap Social Science working group, worked with the working group’s partners at the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP) to publish a Chinese version of a brief "Key Considerations: online information, mis- and disinformation in the context of COVID-19" as a useful tool for the Chinese researchers, practitioners and policy makers.

This brief sets out practical considerations relating to flows of information, misinformation and disinformation though online media, particularly social media networks, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It details various types of online media, key players and influencers on social media, and strategies for ensuring good information and disrupting mis- and disinformation.
