There are many other information literacy guidelines that can help the general public to recognise and avoid fake news. These websites help people to determine the authenticity of the facts presented by any news or information sites, pinpointing any misinformation or myths which are indigenously induced and viral within a country through social networks. Several of these fact-checking sites continually update details of the news, myths or information that is fake. Health science librarians have the knowledge and skills to provide guidance to the general public on how to find credible and reliable information in the age of post-truth, especially during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
