Abstract

Recently the world community was faced with a health problem unprecedented for the inhabitants of the planet. A virus unknown to the general public struck societies with greater speed and force than a conflict or a world war. The thousands of victims continue to be added to the daily medical reports with profound social and economic consequences. Residents publish news daily updates about surveillance and active cases on websites and social media may lead to (mis)information which in turn may cause problems of phobias depression and anxiety among general population forming risk perceptions. Fake news sharing has become uncontrolled in today’s digital world. This paper highlights the role of social media on creation of fear, the human’s role and implications for communities that need to pay more attention to social and mental health problems and minimize the proliferation of misinformation.
