COVID INI Part I | Syed Munir Khasru

Phase I

IPAG is one of the very few international think tanks that has moved quickly in globally disseminating research & evidence-based information to raise awareness about COVID-19. At Phase I, on March 26, 2020, IPAG launched an Audio-Visual (AV) highlighting 15 key myths that were globally circulating on coronavirus and debunking myths to factual evidence. The objective was to equip people with correct information so that they can effectively respond to the quickly spreading disease.

The AV has been developed in 30 most commonly spoken languages in the world and shared in 108 countries through various social media channels including Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. The AV reached around 20 million people, viewed over 10 million times, and received 120,000+ engagements (likes, shares, comments) during their circulation. Further details on the AVs are provided in the link below:
