We are all facing these kind of misinformation, because we have not accurate information. There are several myths related to this specific issue.

Hi Patricia. Infodemics is everywhere, especially about COVID-19. I can see that some celebgrams, youtubers, facebookers, and many social media activist try to take advantage of spreading hoax in order to leverage their popularity to the mass. With more clicks on their profile, it means more advertisement income. Most scientists are not popular, and don't communicate well with the public. So those infodemics activists are gaining foothold on this situation. This is definitely not good.
