San Diego doctors address COVID-19 misinformation

This process with doctors from around the region now occurs following each Board of Supervisors' COVID-19 update.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — An independent panel of doctors from the San Diego region once again participated in a virtual review of misinformation shared during public comment on the Dec. 7 COVID-19 update to the Board of Supervisors. 

County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency staff collected COVID-19 statements made in reaction to the COVID-19 presentation to the Board of Supervisors. This process with doctors from around the region now occurs following each Board of Supervisors' COVID-19 update. 

The County Board of Supervisors in August approved a new policy for confronting COVID-19 health misinformation and declaring it a public health crisis. San Diego County became the first in the United States to declare health misinformation a public health crisis, but soon thereafter other jurisdictions followed.

The resulting video discussion by medical experts of disinformation will be uploaded and archived on the coronavirus-sd.com website
