Arise the coronavirus pandemic, a growing number of people have become concerned about the levels of false information being spread and not knowing what to believe.
To come to the aid of the people, we will identify a few credible sources that people can trust for accurate and up-to-date news.
The first source is Governor DeWine (Ohio). His talks are a top source for the state of Ohio because he briefs his people about how the pandemic has affected our community locally rather than the general nationwide briefing done by President Donald Trump and his board.
The governor’s briefing is broadcasted live every week day at around 2:00 p.m. on local news channels.
During his broadcast, he goes over how things are moving along everyday and keeps us updated on stats like death tolls, equipment production, recovered patients, etc. He has an interpreter on screen at all times for accessibility and has Dr. Amy Acton, Ohio’s Department of Health Director, speak on the situation with him.
Another very credible source is the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The CDC covers the pandemic as a whole and how it is impacting the entire world.
It is important to stay aware of how the virus is being handled elsewhere and not just in the United States.
While these sources are credible and honest, it is important to look out for sources that are not spreading the exact truth, so make sure to always check your facts and sources to keep from spreading false information and ultimately, panic.
