infodemik


Definition from BH Online:
Istilah infodemik diguna untuk menggambarkan kemudaratan disebabkan penyebaran maklumat palsu dalam menangani wabak penyakit.
Fenomena ini boleh menjadi faktor pemangkin kepada proses penyebaran virus dengan lebih cepat lagi. Misalnya kita lihat apa yang berlaku di Lombardi, utara Itali pada awal penularan COVID-19.

Example sentence(s):
  • Semenjak awal krisis COVID-19, WHO telah mengutarakan kebimbangan mereka bukan sahaja terhadap pandemik virus tersebut, tetapi juga tentang masalah kecelaruan maklumat atau 'infodemik' dan penularan khabar angin yang sukar untuk diatasi. Infodemik boleh merencatkan maklum balas pihak bertanggungjawab mengganggu masyarakat dari mendapatkan maklumat yang tepat, serta melambatkan pelaksanaan mengatasi wabak berkenaan. - UTM Newshub  
  • ASEAN perlu teguh menghadapi penularan 'infodemik' berpunca tindakan dan serangan Donald Trump terhadap WHO yang boleh melemahkan usaha mengekang cabaran pandemik COVID-19. - Astro Awani  
  • Penyebaran Koronavirus menjadi tumpuan utama media global serta menimbulkan kebimbangan pengguna terhadap risiko daripada COVID-19 dan infodemik mengenainya. - FAKTA COVID-19
