A salient example of this is the COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread a wide range of falsehoods even as truth has more and more turned into a matter of life and death. In the current study, the aim is to analyze the effect of social media on the public with regard to COVID-19. Materials and Methods: A survey was conducted among 100 participants [79 male, 21 female]. 13 questions were circulated through online Google forms via WhatsApp platform. Responses were collected and verified.
