Abstract:
The world is facing a new pandemic called COVID-19. It started in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and in a few months it spread to almost every country of the world. Caused by a new streak of Coronavirus, it develops into an acute respiratory syndrome that becomes fatal particularly in the elderly. Since two similar Coronavirus epidemics happened in the past i.e. in 2002 and 2012, there are certain rumors and myths that gradually seeped in cultural discourse. As a result, many people, discrediting scientific knowledge and verified precautionary measures, continue to believe in the rumors and myths and are spreading them on social media. These myths range from identifying the causes of pandemic to offering solutions. In this review we discuss some of prevailing myths on the current pandemic from different parts of the world.
