With COVID-19 already a feature of our daily lives, information on medicine and health is in no short supply. Everyday we are flooded not only with facts but also falsehoods, the worst of which have amplified fears and - even more dangerously - wreaked havoc on our disease transmission control systems. What kind of news and information do people living day to day in the shadow of COVID-19 truly want? With infectious diseases becoming more and more ubiquitous, how do public health systems need to change? CHO Dong-chan is a medical correspondent for SBS who has brought his unique double lens as a medical professional and passionate journalist to his reporting on the pandemic. In this session, he explores questions related to the distribution and consumption of information and directions for public health in a post-COVID world.
