OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE DOH-CVCHD ON THE PROLIFERATION OF FAKE NEWS AND UNVERIFIED INFORMATION REGARDING COVID-19
04 April 2020
The Department of Health - Central Visayas Center for Health Development (DOH-CVCHD) joins the other government agencies in the clarion calls against the spread of false information on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus recently stated, “We’re not just fighting an epidemic; we’re fighting an infodemic”.
In our region, we have received reports of social media posts and messages by certain individuals promoting unverified information, twisted and misleading accounts of reports, and even suspicious rumors and conspiracy theories about COVID-19. Some of these posts go to the extent of sowing panic and fostering chaos in the community. However seemingly well-intentioned they are, these types of information dissemination will not help our efforts to maintain calmness and order in our communities.
The laws are clear: Individuals or groups who spread false information regarding the COVID-19 crisis on social media and other platforms geared towards promoting chaos, panic, anarchy, fear, or confusion may be punished under the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act (Reference: Republic Act No. 11469 Section 6 [f]). Likewise, any person who publishes or causes to be published any false news which may endanger the public order may be punished under the Revised Penal Code (Reference: Article 154 of the Revised Penal Code, as amended by Section 18 of Republic Act No. 10951).
