Fans may not be able to watch their favourite artists in a live concert anytime soon, but here's some news - there will be a One World: #TogetherAtHome global broadcast event which is organized by Global Citizen and the World Health Organization (WHO) on 18 April 2020. Featuring various stars such as Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Elton John and many others, the goal of the digital broadcast is to support the frontline healthcare workers through music and inspiring everyone to take action to stay at home. 

While fake news is not something new, but it has apparently become a national problem when the World Health Organization (WHO) have to step in. In fact, WHO even describe "fake news about COVID-19 is as dangerous as the virus itself". 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, companies around the world have been looking into various ways to help in relief efforts.

In this short announcement, somebody has apparently been forwarding fake news about people being fined for stepping outside of their houses. This is of course, ridiculous to begin with and there's more.

As many of you already heard, a few official organizations are jumping on the bandwagon of joining social apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram to help share official news instead of chain messages by baby boomers. According to reports, the World Health Organization (WHO) is preparing an official app to disseminate relevant news, tips and important messages.
