United Nations, Dec 3 UN General Assembly (UNGA) President Volkan Bozkir has called for joint efforts to fight misinformation and disinformation about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
"Aside from the virus and its impacts, another adversary has been plaguing our response: misinformation and disinformation. Covid-19 is a communications crisis. It is not simply a pandemic. It is an 'infodemic.' And this has cost lives," Xinhua news agency quoted the UNGA President as saying on Wednesday.
