Abstract
Infodemics hinder efforts at mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic. This short report aims to highlight the definition, types, sources and effects of infodemics. The COVID-19 pandemic is accompanied by a wave of extensive misinformation, or infodemics, representing a serious challenge for prevention and control activities. This misinformation deepens rather than mitigates the viral risks. International and local authorities must fight this misinformation seriously.
