Maryland coronavirus rumor website
The page, created in partnership with the Maryland Emergency Management Agency, the Maryland Department of Health and the Maryland Department of Information Technology, allows Maryland residents to read a variety of information about the coronavirus and how the pandemic is affecting life in Maryland and across the country.
Visitors can also submit a rumor to be answered, subscribe to updates to be notified when a rumor has been identified and dispelled, and receive links to trusted sources and their social media posts in real time.
Statement
“We want Maryland residents to be able to participate in the process by helping us identify rumors and false information that could unnecessarily cause panic or worse, result in decision making that could lead to severe injuries or even death,” Jorge E. Castillo, spokesperson for the Maryland Emergency Management Agency, wrote in a news release.
