Instagram as an informative tool for the news science project / Instagram como ferramenta informativa do projeto ciência news / Instagram como herramienta informativa para el proyecto ciência news

O presente trabalho traz o relato de experiência da criação de um perfil no Instagram, realizado pela Câmara de Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão (CENPEX) da Faculdade Ciências da Vida (FCV) de Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais, como meio de disseminar informações científicas ao público interno e externo à FCV. Diante da impossibilidade de se realizar atividades extensionistas no formato presencial, devido à pandemia da Covid-19, o ensino da FCV foi interrompido de modo presencial em março de 2020 e passou a ser remoto. Desta forma, foi criado, pela CENPEX, um projeto de extensão e pesquisa voltado para divulgação científica nas redes sociais envolvendo temáticas na área de saúde, meio ambiente, sustentabilidade e direitos humanos. O grupo de extensão e pesquisa, composto por professores e pesquisadores da FCV, selecionou alunos de diferentes cursos da faculdade e os direcionou à criação de um perfil no Instagram denominado @cenpexfcv que passou a ter o papel principal de difundir informações científicas confiáveis. O objetivo foi de conscientizar a população em geral no entendimento de diferentes temáticas relacionadas especialmente à Covid- 19, em virtude da pandemia, de modo a combater fake news. O perfil disponibiliza posts, animações, informativos, folders, enquetes e lives com profissionais especialistas, que buscam sanar as dúvidas dos seguidores. Ao longo dos oito meses de projetos, já foram montadas 94 formas interativas de divulgação, que, quantitativamente, tem mostrado o crescimento no engajamento, considerado como um aspecto positivo do projeto. Dessa forma, pode-se inferir que o uso de mídias sociais, como o Instagram, quando utilizada de forma direcionada e com informações fidedignas, podem contribuir efetivamente para o desenvolvimento da divulgação científica.

This work presents an experience report of the creation of a profile on Instagram, carried out by the Chamber of Teaching, Research and Extension (CENPEX) of the Faculdade Ciências da Vida (FCV) at Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais, as a means of disseminating scientific information to the internal and external public to FCV. Faced with the impossibility of carrying out extension activities in in-campus format, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the face-to-face teaching of FCV was interrupted in March 2020 and became remote. In this way, CENPEX created an extension and research project aimed at scientific dissemination on social networks involving themes in the area of health, environment, sustainability and human rights. The extension and research group, made up of FCV professors and researchers, selected students from different courses at the faculty and directed them to create an Instagram profile called @cenpexfcv, which took on the main role of disseminating reliable scientific information. The objective was to raise the awareness of the general population in understanding different issues related especially to Covid-19, due to the pandemic, in order to combat fake news. The profile provides posts, animations, newsletters, folders, polls and lives with specialist professionals, who seek to resolve the doubts of the followers. Over the eight months of the project, 94 interactive forms of dissemination have already been set up, which, quantitatively, have shown the growth in engagement, considered as a positive aspect of the project. Thus, it can be inferred that the use of social media, such as Instagram, when used in a targeted way and with reliable information, can effectively contribute to the development of scientific dissemination.

Este trabajo trae el informe de la experiencia de la creación de un perfil en Instagram, realizado por la Cámara de Enseñanza, Investigación y Extensión (CENPEX) de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Vida (FCV) de Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais, como medio de difusión de información científica al público interno y externo a la FCV. Ante la imposibilidad de realizar actividades de extensión en formato presencial, debido a la pandemia del Covid-19, la enseñanza en la FCV se interrumpió en modalidad presencial en marzo de 2020 y pasó a ser a distancia. Así, se creó, por parte del CENPEX, un proyecto de extensión e investigación enfocado a la divulgación científica en redes sociales que involucra temas en el área de salud, medio ambiente, sostenibilidad y derechos humanos. El grupo de extensión e investigación, compuesto por profesores e investigadores de la FCV, seleccionó a estudiantes de diferentes cursos de la facultad y los orientó a la creación de un perfil en Instagram llamado @cenpexfcv que comenzó a tener como función principal la difusión de información científica confiable. El objetivo era sensibilizar a la población en general en la comprensión de diferentes temas relacionados especialmente con Covid-19, debido a la pandemia, para combatir las fake news. El perfil ofrece posts, animaciones, boletines, carpetas, encuestas y vidas con expertos profesionales, que buscan responder a las preguntas de los seguidores. A lo largo de los ocho meses de proyecto, ya se han reunido 94 formas interactivas de difusión, lo que, cuantitativamente, ha demostrado el crecimiento del compromiso, considerado como un aspecto positivo del proyecto. Por lo tanto, se puede deducir que el uso de las redes sociales, como Instagram, cuando se utiliza de forma selectiva y con información fiable, puede contribuir eficazmente al desarrollo de la divulgación científica.

Rompiendo la infodemia: descubriendo el SARS-CoV-2 / Breaking infodemic: discovering SARS-CoV-2

By December 2019, multiple cases of unexplained pneumonia were reported in some hospitals in the city of Wuhan, China. Since then, it had been confirmed that it corresponded to an acute respiratory infection caused by a new coronavirus that spread quickly, becoming pandemic in a very short time. On the other hand, this pandemic forced confinement for months, something unprecedented. In that time, millions of people went online for entertainment, education, etc. Consequently, the use of the Internet increased, bringing, on the one hand, online education, and entertainment on the Internet, ensuring social distancing; and on the other hand, it brought new new risks to human life, among them rumors. In this way and given the large number of publications that could denote the level of misinformation about COVID-19 and the impact it could have on global public health, various scientific publications were analyzed and identified from a bibliometric point of view. Potential relationships between the descriptors obtained from the bibliometric search were identified. The results were conglomerated into 5 clusters: Cluster 1, related to studies on access to information provided on COVID-19; cluster 2 shows the list of studies that have been carried out on the information on the COVID-19 vaccine, cluster 3 analyzes the different responses given by conspiracy theories, rumors and misinformation about COVID-19, the Group 4 shows cross-sectional and longitudinal research on COVID-19 and the information it provides to the health sector, and cluster 5 represents studies on scientific production and communication that have contributed to global health during the pandemic(AU)

Para diciembre de 2019, se registraron múltiples casos de una neumonía inexplicables en algunos hospitales de la ciudad de Wuhan, China. Desde ese momento se había confirmado correspondía a una infección respiratoria aguda causada por un nuevo coronavirus que se propagó rápidamente haciéndose pandémico en muy poco tiempo. Por otra parte, esta pademia obligó a un confinamiento por meses, algo sin precedente. En ese tiempo, millones de personas se conectaron en línea para entretenimiento, educación, etc. En consecuencia, el uso de Internet aumentó trayendo, por una parte, educación online y entretenimiento en Internet asegurando el distanciamiento social; y por otra parte, trajo nuevos nuevos riesgos a la vida humana, entre ellos los rumores. En ese sentido, y ante la gran cantidad de publicaciones que podrían denotar el nivel de desinformación sobre el COVID-19 y el impacto que podría tener en la salud pública mundial, se analizaron e identificaron diversas publicaciones científicas desde el punto de vista bibliométrico. Se identificaron las relaciones potenciales entre los descriptores arrojados de la búsqueda bibliométrica. Los resultados se conglomeraron en 5 clúster: El clúster 1, relacionado con los estudios sobre el acceso a la información proporcionada sobre COVID-19; el clúster 2, muestra la relación de los estudios que se han realizado sobre la información de la vacuna COVID-19, el clúster 3, analiza las distintas respuestas que dan las teorías conspirativas, los rumores y la desinformación sobre el COVID-19, el grupo 4 muestra investigaciones transversales y longitudinales sobre el COVID-19 y la información que brinda al sector salud, y el clúster 5 representa los estudios sobre producción y comunicación científicas que han contribuido a la salud mundial durante la pandemia(AU)

Telemedicine through social networks during COVID-19 pandemic

The advantages that have been had through the use of social networks during COVID-19 pandemic that have acted as means to exercise telemedicine are discussed;however, it is also debated that, by misusing them, we may be falling into an infodemic which has favored the dissemination of erroneous information through social networks, so you are invited to use social networks as a means of telemedicine, always by professionals with professionalism and objectivity.

Social perception of non-responsible dissemination of information and scientific disqualification on Covid-19

The objective of the study is to know the reasons that induce people to irresponsibly disseminate information about Covid-19 treatment and to disqualify scientific reports that reject the use of some substances for putting people's health at risk. The rapid dissemination of Covid-19, brought with it a problem equal or more dangerous than viremia itself, such as the irresponsible dissemination of information not supported by science about the treatment of this disease, endangering the health of the population by encouraging the management of risky behaviors that are not scientifically supported. The study carried out is qualitative phenomenological, in this was performed a documentary analysis of videos, and publications on social networks, as well as unstructured interviews to 12 people between 20 and 65 years of age from Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and Venezuela, with inductive analysis in Atlas ti v.22 software, of 3 guiding categories on causes and perceptions of non-responsible dissemination of information and disqualification of scientific evidence, obtaining 9 emerging categories based on rooting and density, with intercategorial triangulation and informants. It was found that individual causes are present in 58%, and social causes in 48% are related to poor health education and lack of sufficient scientific arguments. In evaluating immediate, mediate, and potential influences in the MIC MAC software and after the evaluation of thematic experts, it is evident that poor health education is the most important influencing and influenced element that influences the dissemination of hoaxes and scientific disqualification of information on COVID-19. For this reason, it is recommended that governments and scientists emphasize the form of communication to the population on emerging diseases, carrying out permanent education campaigns on the subject.

Typology of viral misinformation content during the first months of the COVID-19 health emergency in Peru.

This study includes a content analysis of viral disinformation (N=80) since the first COVID-19 case confirmed and during the mandatory quarantine in Peru (March 6th, 2020 - June 30th, 2020), that were identified by fact-checkers and public entities. The study adapts a typology for information disorders: exaggeration, decontextualization, deception, false alerts and frauds, and highlights their main characteristics. The investigation reveals that WhatsApp was the principal platform used for disseminating hoaxes, in addition to multiple social networks. Misinformation stories are mainly photos or text, and the contents were related to the health crisis, the economic bonus for vulnerable families, pandemic restrictions, and health myths. In addition, the study shows a useful guide for professionals working on fact-checking. (English) [ FROM AUTHOR] Se realiza un análisis de los contenidos de desinformación (N=80) que alcanzaron viralidad tras el anuncio del primer caso de COVID-19 y durante la cuarentena obligatoria por la pandemia (6 de marzo al 30 de junio del 2020), y que fueron identificados por sitios de fact-checking y entidades públicas. El estudio adapta una tipología que incluye cinco tipos de contenidos desinformativos: exageración, descontextualización, engaño, alertas falsas y estafas, destacando sus características principales. De esta manera, la investigación revela que WhatsApp fue el medio digital más usado para la difusión, así como el uso de múltiples redes sociales. Las fotos y texto fueron los elementos más usados para estos contenidos, mientras que las principales temáticas se centraron en la crisis sanitaria, el bono económico para las familias vulnerables, las restricciones en la pandemia, y los mitos de salud. Además, el estudio propone una guía para el proceso de verificación de datos en un contexto de emergencia sanitaria vigente.

Mental ecology in the structure of the COVID-19 pandemic (review)

Currently, sufficient data are available on the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its socio-economic consequences on human mental health and the mental ecology in general. The success of public health strategies to cope with pandemics is largely determined by psychological factors and the mental values prevailing in the community at large. The present review systematized the psychological response features of various social, professional, and national representatives during the COVID-19 period within the framework of the main mental ecology provisions. The review methodology was based on the World Health Organization documents and open sources of the Scopus and Web of Science databases on the population's mental health under COVID-19 pandemic conditions. A significant increase in adaptive and anxiety-depressive disorders was noted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the specific mental phenomena associated with the pandemic, coronaphobia, COVID-19-stress syndrome, covid-dissidence manifestations with the involvement of conspiracy theories, and mythological thinking were identified. The negative infodemia impact on the mental ecology, as well as the adherence to anti-epidemic measures and readiness for vaccination, were also established. Negative trends were demonstrated in communities where the maximum infection and death risk were associated with low adherence to the epidemiological measures and refusal to vaccination. It was revealed that belonging to certain social or professional groups largely determines a person's behavior in relation to a new coronavirus infection within the framework of accepted social norms. Based on the analysis of a large domestic and international data number on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic emergency on the human psyche, its significant adverse contribution to the overall mental ecology was noted. The necessity of developing special therapeutic and psycho-prophylactic programs aimed at coping with the stress pandemic impact and treatment of affective disorders, countering infodemia, and strengthening behavioral patterns to maintain mental health and personal well-being is substantiated. © Authors, 2022.

Social representations of covid-19 in the unstable information environment (a mid-2021 study)

The relevance of studying the social consequences of the covid-19 is determined by the fact that this transforming event affected the most diverse aspects of life in the Russian society. The article presents the results of the survey conducted on the sample of the Moscow residents in mid-2021. The majority of respondents considered the coronavirus as a dangerous disease that should be taken seriously. The phenomenon of coronavirus, due to its complexity, poor knowledge and mass distribution, has acquired not only a biomedical, but also a political, economic and media dimension. The information field about the origin, sources and measures to combat this disease experienced changes over time and was often contradictory. A typological analysis showed that there are several groups with different social ideas about the origin, control measures and social consequences of the covid-19. A significant group - about a half of respondents - shared ideas that were alternative to the official and dominant interpretation of the coronavirus in the information field. The study revealed that the agreement on the dangers of the coronavirus was combined with the priority of personal choice of means to combat it. The majority of respondents (61 %) were against the introduction of mandatory vaccination: among the most popular motives were doubts about its effectiveness and fears of its side effects;the priority of individual choice and the rights of citizens rather than the state. A statistically significant relationship was found between attitudes towards mandatory vaccination and trust in government: a low level of agreement with mandatory vaccination obviously correlates with a low level of trust in leading social-political institutions. The authors show that the Russian media discourse on the need for mass vaccination was accompanied by a wide spread of ideas that rigidly differentiate Russian citizens, which cannot but cause concerns about the tasks of ensuring social stability and unity of the Russian society.

[Communication in times of pandemic: information, disinformation, and provisional lessons from the coronavirus crisis]. / Comunicación en tiempos de pandemia: información, desinformación y lecciones provisionales de la crisis del coronavirus.

OBJECTIVE: To characterise the infodemic associated with the COVID-19 and to analyse information consumption, trust in sources, the role of the media and government communication, focusing in the case of Spain, as well as to discuss some provisional communication lessons from studies on this and other pandemics. METHOD: Bibliographic search in PubMed and Scopus and review of selected documents with the criteria of relevance to the objectives and the Spanish setting. RESULTS: The COVID-19 pandemic has overlapped with an infodemic that has led to the largest avalanche of disinformation known to date and to difficulties in finding reliable information for almost half of the population. In Spain, information consumption has focused on traditional media and WhatsApp; the media were relatively well-rated and helped understand the pandemic, although they are considered less trustworthy in Spain than in other Western countries. The analysis of Spanish government communication shows errors such as overly reassuring messages at the beginning of the pandemic, lack of transparency, excess of information and the spokesperson model adopted. CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge about the infodemic associated with COVID-19 is fragmentary and insufficient. Even though the health crisis is not closed for adequate evaluation, some provisional communication lessons can be drawn. The complexity of the disinformation phenomenon requires considering infodemiology as a scientific discipline to understand both the spread of disinformation and the spread of disease.

On the Role of Media in the Development of Solidarity in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic (Based on the Materials of Foreign Studies)

The purpose of the review of foreign literature is to analyze the concepts of solidarity in psychology and related sciences with a focus on the role of media. Solidarity is considered as a complex socio-psychological construct, including positive identity, mindset for cooperation, empathy, an image of a positive future, a plan of joint actions, trained skills of social assistance, etc. The core of the construct is a group identity, through its valence (positive or negative), the vector of unity-separation of people is set. Solidarity is considered not only as a resource of group dynamics, but also of personal development. It can be positive ("for something"), and negative ("against someone"), depending on the valence of the identity that is formed or supported by the media. The role of media in the processes of solidarity of the population is not always realized and indicated by researchers. It is shown that in times of crisis, the mass media can provoke infodemia, increase anxiety, stress, inadequate search behavior in people, and stimulate negative solidarity. The psychological preconditions of infodemia are the need for control, attempts to maintain a positive identity, and group protection. Similar mechanisms work in the development of solidarity, the need for which is actualized, but not used by the media. The role of social networks in the consolidation of groups is underestimated: virtual weak and latent connections are strengthened and can be used to inform and conduct training in quarantine conditions. Official media’s tasks in times of natural disasters should include science-based education, the development and strengthening of solidarity attitudes in society in close contact with academic institutions. © 2022 National Research University Higher School of Economics.

Repercussions of infodemia associated with COVID-19 on the mental health of the elderly in Brazil

The phenomenon called infodemia refers to the increase in the volume of information on a specific topic, which multiplies rapidly in a short period of time, and has stood out in the context of the health crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Too much information can trigger feelings of fear, anxiety, stress, and other conditions of mental distress. The study aims to describe the profile of exposure to information about COVID-19 and its repercussions on the mental health of elderly Brazilians. This is a cross-sectional study carried out with 1924 elderly Brazilians. Data were collected through a web-based survey sent to the elderly via social networks and email, from July to October 2020. The results of the descriptive analysis of the data show that most of the elderly were aged between 60 and 69 years (69.02%), female (71.26%), married (53.79%) and white (75.57%). About 21.67% (n = 417) concluded their graduation, 19.75% (380) concluded their specialization and 16.63% (320) concluded their master's or doctoral degrees. Television 862 (44.80%) and social networks 651 (33.84%) were reported as frequent sources of exposure to news or information about COVID-19. Participants indicated that television (46.47%;n = 872), social networks (30.81%;n = 575) and radio (14.48%;251) affected them psychologically and/or physically. Receiving fake news about COVID-19 on television (n = 482;19.8%) and on social media (n = 415;21.5%) mainly resulted in stress and fear. The disseminated information contributes to awareness, but also affects physically and/or psychologically many elderly people, mainly generating fear and stress. © 2022, Centro Nacional de Informacion de Ciencias Medicas.

TREND OF SELF-ORGANIZATION OF THE POPULATION IN CONDITIONS OF CONFLICTOGENIC TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE WORLD POLITICAL SYSTEM: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS

The article analyzes the features of the transformation of the world political system in the context of globalization. The role of the nation-state is weakening, the influence of international organizations is growing, the growing of number and strengthening of the role of national and supranational non-governmental organizations in world politics is growing, and a new political culture is emerging which is characterized by dissemination and adoption of common world values and interests. One of the trends in the transformation of the world political system is the strengthening of forms of self-organization of the population, the strengthening of civil society institutions. This trend is related to the democratic modernization of the Western model and is characteristic of sustainable democracies and states where democratic transit takes place, transitional political systems exist. There is a countertr-end of counter- or anti-modernization, mainly in Russia, China, North Korea, some countries where Islam is the dominant religion, and Latin American countries, etc. This is a factor in the emergence of domestic social conflicts and the aggravation of the military-political situation in the system of international relations. Therefore, emphasis is placed on strengthening the role of information technology in the political life of society. It is pointed out that among the important consequences of virtualization in public activity, there is the transition to e-democracy. Still, this trend has a downside - infodemia as a phenomenon of the information epidemic that swept the world during the COVID-19 pandemic and became a challenge for governments worldwide.

COVID-19: 8 lessons from the First Global Infodemic that should be an opportunity for libraries

The health crisis caused by COVID-19 brought with it the first global infodemic, in which hoaxes and denial theories roamed and roamed freely through the digital space and social networks. With the perspective of two years of pandemic, some lessons are offered that in the author's opinion should be opportunities for libraries when dealing with the phenomenon of disinformation, which although it is not new, in the case of the infodemic it has had a global type scale. Aspects such as the consumption of information via social networks, the different types of denialism and the necessary literacies in which the library community could contribute all its experience are analyzed. Finally, a series of recommendations are made for actions that libraries and the library community, collectively but also individually, could carry out in collaboration with other actors for the efficient fight against disinformation. © 2022 Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra.

El tratamiento periodístico de la información vs. la infodemia en tiempos pandémicos: contrastes entre el periodismo profesional y el llamado periodismo ciudadano

En un panorama de retos, crisis y evolución tecnológica acelerada, la pandemia de COVID-19 acentuó los aspectos positivos y negativos del contexto informativo ligado al mundo real y el virtual: por un lado, el trabajo a distancia con herramientas de comunicación digitales portátiles, brindan acceso a publicación sin intermediarios y con una rapidez impensable en modelos de medios tradicionales. Por otro lado, la sobreproducción de información gracias a estos nuevos procesos, al alcance de todo el mundo, suponen riesgos que resultan en desinformación, noticias falsas o engañosas y el manejo de datos a conveniencia por entes públicos o privados. Este momento histórico requiere una reflexión de los procesos informativos desde los medios de comunicación y desde el exterior, donde la sociedad civil produce, circula, acelera o frena los mensajes que le son relevantes. Es pertinente re-aprovechar las herramientas digitales de comunicación con un uso ético y profesional, donde los periodistas, los medios de comunicación y las universidades tengan un rol de liderazgo y ejemplo ante la abundancia informativa, que en el entorno de la pandemia se ha catalogado como infodemia.Alternate :In a landscape of challenges, crisis and accelerated technological evolution, the COVID-19 pandemic accentuated the positive and negative aspects of the informational context linked to the real and virtual world: first, remote work with portable digital communication tools, provides access to broadcast and distribute without intermediaries and with a speed unthinkable in traditional media. Second, the overproduction of information, thanks to these new processes available to everyone, pose risks that result in misinformation, fake or misleading news and the handling of data at convenience by public or private entities. This historical moment requires a reflection of the information processes from the media and from abroad, where civil society produces, circulates, accelerates or slows down the messages that are relevant to it. It is pertinent to re-take advantage of digital communication tools with an ethical and professional use, where journalists, the media and universities have a leadership role and an example in the face of the abundance of information, which in the environment of the pandemic has been cataloged as infodemic.

COVID-19 PANDEMÍSÍ VE ÍNFODEMÍ

Ínfodemi, COVID-19 pandemisi ile beraber önem kazanan bir kavramdır. Íçinde bulunduğumuz bilgi çağında salgın yönetiminde diğer mücadele alanlarını doğrudan etkileyen merkezi konumda olması nedeniyle COVID-19 salgını sırasında öncelikli olarak gündeme alınmıştır. Pandemi sürecinde bu fenomenin, deneyimlediğimiz bilgi çağının en önemli aracı olan yeni dijital gerçekliğin yanında özellikle politik saha gibi alanlarda da beslenmesi dikkat çekici olmuştur. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ)’nün bu süreçte çizdiği yol haritasına göre infodemi yönetimi, koordinasyon ve yönetim haricinde kanıtı tanımlamak, bilimi ve bilgiyi kullanılabilir hale getirmek, eylemi güçlendirmek ve etkiyi ölçmek başlıklarında dört temel adıma dayanmaktadır. Derlemenin amacı, COVID-19 bağlamında infodemi kavramı ve ilişkili olduğu alanlar ile DSÖ önderliğinde dört temelli infodemi yönetimini özetlemektir.Alternate : Infodemia is a concept that has gained importance with the COVID-19 pandemic. During the COVID-19 outbreak, infodemia was raised primarily due to its central location, which directly affects other areas of struggle in epidemic management in the information age we are in. During the pandemic process, it was especially remarkable that this phenomenon was fed in areas such as the political field, in addition to the new digital reality, which is the most important tool of the information age that we experience. According to the roadmap drawn by the World Health Organization (WHO) in this process, infodemia management is based on four basic steps except for coordination and management: identifying evidence, making science and information available, amplifying action, and measuring the impact. The aim of the review is to summarize the concept of infodemia in the context of COVID-19 and the information about the areas in which it is associated, as well as the four-based infodemia management that is being implemented under the leadership of the WHO.

Infodemia in the Time of Covid 19: Criminal Law and Security Aspect

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Europe and the world has led to a number of legal, economic, medical, security and other challenges. Given the speed with which (dis) information about SARS-CoV-2 is spreading, a new term has emerged - infodemia. Infodemia is a flood of information about the virus, and it is very difficult to distinguish the truth from falsehoods. In addition, the spread of misinformation can have multiple negative consequences, both for the health of the population, mental health in particular, and the awareness of citizens about the current global situation. At the same time, infodemia can be associated with hate speech, which ultimately leads to risky behavior. Namely, such false inscriptions consequently may lead citizens into the criminal zone by disrespecting the epidemiological measures prescribed by competent authorities, which can very easily lead to global illegal action in the form of criminal offense of spreading infectious diseases. To this end, the EU seeks to respond to such undesirable and dangerous phenomena, with concrete measures that can be implemented quickly through existing legal resources. In this paper, the authors are analyzing the problem of false news spreading from criminal law and security aspects, along with comparative solutions. Namely, Croatian criminal legislation does not criminalize the dissemination of false news as a criminal offense. In our legal system the dissemination of false news is prescribed as a misdemeanor in the Misdemeanors against Public Peace and Order Act, which originated in the former state. Following the above, the authors seek to provide answers to a number of legal and security issues. First of all, what are the legal consequences of spreading false news about SARS-CoV-2, how can rumour spreading sanctions be aggravated, where are freedom of the press restrictions, and how do false information affect national security?
