Rumors can easily circulate within communities during a crisis. FEMA has setup a website (https://www.fema.gov/coronavirus-rumor-control) to help the public distinguish between rumors and facts regarding the response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Coronavirus Rumor Control

Do your part to the stop the spread of disinformation by doing three easy things:
- Don’t believe the rumors.
- Don’t pass them along.
