DO - talk about the new #coronavirus disease (#COVID19)
DON'T - attach locations or ethnicity to the disease, this is not a “Wuhan Virus”, “Chinese Virus” or “Asian Virus”.
The official name for the disease was deliberately chosen to avoid stigmatization

DO - talk about people “acquiring” or “contracting” #COVID19
DON'T - talk about people “transmitting COVID-19” “infecting others” or “spreading the virus” as it implies intentional transmission & assigns blame http://bit.ly/32HZe0q

DO - speak accurately about the risk from #COVID19, based on scientific data and latest official health advice.
DON'T - repeat or share unconfirmed rumours & avoid using hyperbolic language designed to generate fear like “plague” or “apocalypse.”
