People who get most of their news from social media rather than traditional news sites are more likely to harbor misconceptions about COVID-19, according to a new Canadian study. The study also found that people who are exposed to those misconceptions on social media are less likely to comply with important public health recommendations regarding the coronavirus pandemic, such as physical distancing. These differences in the attitudes and behaviors of people who get their news from social media versus traditional media held even after the study took into account such factors as scientific literacy and socio-economic differences. The findings are troubling. “There is a real danger that without concerted efforts to reduce the amount of misinformation shared on social media, the large-scale social efforts required to combat COVID-19 will be undermined,” the study’s authors write. How the study was done For the study, a team of researchers from McGill University in Montreal collected...

Wearing face masks reduces the number of times that people touch their faces — particularly their eyes, nose and mouth — in public, a behavioral change that may help prevent the transmission of COVID-19, according to a study published Wednesday in JAMA Network Open. In countries where mandatory mask-wearing policies were implemented early in the pandemic and where compliance with those policies has been high, the reduction in face-touching has been particularly dramatic. People in China, for example, put their hands to their faces four times less often, and people in South Korea do it six times less often since mask-wearing became mandatory, the study reports. These findings support those of another, smaller study published online earlier this month. That study found that health care workers in the United States touched their faces four times less often when wearing face masks than when not wearing them. Health officials believe facial coverings can play an important role in limit...
