The uncertainty and fear that have accompanied us from the beginning of the coronavirus epidemic are conducive to the creation of fake news and unverified information. How to find yourself in this thicket? Which information turned out to be incorrect? Where to find verified data? After all, our safety depends on it. We invite you to the first of 10 educational films of the National Health Fund series – “Safe during an epidemic”.
“Safe during an epidemic” – educational cycles of the National Health Fund
We have all been living in a new social reality for six months. We redefine the “old” hygiene, remember long-forgotten safety rules in public places. We disinfect the surroundings in the unthinkable a year ago. Biomes are to benefit from the help of doctors in clinics.
None of us know how long we will live in the active presence of the coronovirus. We know, however, that we need to consciously and effectively care for each other.
On September 2, the National Health Fund started broadcasting educational films “Safe during the epidemic”, including 10 episodes dealing with issues from various areas of everyday life in the time of a pandemic. In the first, experts deal with false theories, but also answer Poles’ questions.
Is the coronavirus really a threat to us? After all, the overall mortality in Poland has decreased year on year, and since it has decreased, there is no pandemic – some say. How is it really? – There is clearly a new virus and it is quite contagious and in some people it causes serious consequences, sometimes even death – explains Prof. Zbigniew Gaciong from the Medical University of Warsaw. – In Poland, we do not see one thing – which is happening in other countries – we do not see an increase in the total number of deaths – he emphasizes.
How to spot fake news about the coronavirus? Where is the best place to look for reliable information? What drugs do we currently have to fight SARS-CoV-2? Why is there less disease in Poland compared to other countries? You will find the answers in the video posted.
– The coronavirus epidemic also turned out to be an information epidemic. We dealt with a flood of various information, the reliability and credibility of which was not always correct, says the Minister of Health, Dr. Adam Niedzielski. – We want to offer help here – says the minister, and it is the National Health Fund hotline.
