“…Penyebaran COVID-19 sebagai suatu virus diiringi pula dengan berlimpahnya disinformasi tentang virus tersebut (Tasnim, Hossain, & Mazumder, 2020). Sebagaimana COVID-19 telah mencapai hampir setiap negara di dunia, sirkulasi massal disinformasi melalui berita bohong dan fitnah menyebar secepat persebaran virus tersebut (Pulido Rodríguez et al, 2020). Retorika kebohongan di dalam disinformasi membuka jalan kacaunya masyarakat merespon pandemi ini dan berdampak pada terhambatnya upaya pemerintah merubah persepsi dan perilaku masyarakat.…”

“…Ini kemudian menjadi masalah serius dalam kesehatan masyarakat karena paparan disinformasi dengan volume yang tinggi akan menyebabkan perlilaku yang salah sebagai akibat dari konsumsi berita tersebut. Selain itu, informasi yang salah mengenai COVID-19 juga berakibat pada tertutupinya informasi mengenai perilaku sehat karena ia mempromosikan praktikpraktik keliru yang meningkatkan penyebaran virus dan pada akhirnya menghasilkan perilaku kesehatan yang salah (Orso, Federici, Copetti, Vetrugno, & Bove, 2020;Pulido Rodríguez et al, 2020).…”

“…Dengan absennya informasi yang memadai, berita disinformasi mengisi kekosongan ruang tersebut dalam pemahaman publik yang pada akhirnya membuat publik enggan mempercayai komunikasi resmi dari pemerintah (Djalante et al, 2020;Gao & Yu, 2020) Selain pemerintah, disinformasi juga menyasar di bidang kesehatan dan ilmu pengetahuan secara umum. Beberapa peneliti meyakini bahwa disinformasi terkait COVID-19 memang ditujukkan agar masyarakat secara keliru berperilaku misalnya dengan mengkonsumsi obat-obatan herbal dan lain sebagainya (Larson, 2020;Pulido Rodríguez et al, 2020;Radecki & Spiegel, 2020).…”

ABSTRACT It is projected that the spread of disinformation infodemic among the COVID-19 pandemic will be as quickly or even more rapidly than the virus itself. The absence of the government in quickly and accurately providing information is suspected of being the basis of this phenomenon. Several studies have attempted to examine how the disinformation is shared, absorbed and driven to other behaviors. Meanwhile, no preliminary study maps the features of disinformation to be used practically for prevention and for overcoming disinformation itself. This study aims to fill this gap by examining 174 disinformation during the pandemic of COVID-19. There are five types of COVID-19 disinformation in Indonesia, namely governance, health, foreign relations, business and crime. We argue that if these five categories are not taken seriously, they will create a public distrust of government and science. Another result that arises is the apathy towards the virus which will endanger the wider community. On the basis of these results, we propose a strict government intervention in the provision of knowledge and clarification of disinformation in different forms of social media.Keywords: hoax news, COVID-19, disinformation, misinformation ABSTRAK Infodemi disinformasi di tengah pandemi COVID-19 diproyeksi sama cepat atau bahkan lebih cepat dari virus itu sendiri. Fenomena ini ditengarai terjadi karena absennya negara dalam menyediakan informasi yang cepat dan tepat. Berbagai macam studi telah mencoba menguji bagaimana disinformasi dibagikan, dikonsumsi dan mengarahkan masyarakat untuk melakukan aktivitas tertentu. Sementara itu belum ada studi pendahuluan yang memetakan karakteristik disinformasi secara praktis untuk dimanfaatkan bagi tindakan preventif dan penanggulangan disinformasi itu sendiri. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengisi celah tersebut dengan menganalisis 174 disinformasi selama pandemi COVID-19. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat lima kategori disinformasi tentang COVID-19 di Indonesia yaitu politik, kesehatan, luar negeri, bisnis, dan kriminalitas. Kami berargumen bahwa kelima kategori tersebut jika tidak ditangani secara serius akan memunculkan sikap ketidakpercayaan publik terhadap otoritas pemerintah dan ilmu pengetahuan. Akibat lain yang muncul adalah sikap apatis terhadap virus tersebut yang akan membahayakan masyarakat luas. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, kami merekomendasikan kehadiran pemerintah yang tegas dalam memberikan informasi serta mengklarifikasi disinformasi yang muncul di berbagai macam media sosial.Kata Kunci: berita hoaks, COVID-19, diinformasi, misinformasi

“…The vast majority of countries [9][10][11] have imposed a set of preventive procedures and devices, in addition to medical tests, based on isolation, quarantine, community containment and physical distancing [12,13], travel restrictions, hand hygiene and the banning of events and gatherings. These measures have led to the temporary closure of several economic and social institutions, a relative national lockdown in several countries and enormous pressure on health systems [12,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. However, countries such as Sweden, South Korea and Taiwan did not impose total containment but followed a strategy that articulated quarantine targeting risk groups, monitoring, and large-scale testing, together with social distancing measures (even the use of masks).…”

The objective of this concept paper focuses on the relevance of the analytical potential of Social Sciences for understanding the multiple implications and challenges posed by the COVID-19 contagion–pandemic dyad. This pandemic is generating a global threat with a high number of deaths and infected individuals, triggering enormous pressure on health systems. Most countries have put in place a set of procedures based on social distancing, as well as (preventive) isolation from possible infected and transmitters of the disease. This crisis has profound implications and raises issues for which the contribution of Social Sciences does not seem to be sufficiently mobilised. The contribution of Social Sciences is paramount, in terms of their knowledge and skills, to the knowledge of these problematic realities and to act in an informed way on these crises. Social Sciences are a scientific project focused on interdisciplinarity, theoretical and methodological plurality. This discussion is developed from the systems of relationships between social phenomena in the coordinates of time and place, and in the socio-historical contexts in which they are integrated. A pandemic is a complex phenomenon as it is always a point of articulation between natural and social determinations. The space of the discourse on the COVID-19 pandemic can be understood as the expression of a coalition of discourses, i.e., the interaction of various discourses, combined in re-interpretative modalities of certain realities and social phenomena. The circumstantial coalitions of interests, which shape the different discursive records and actions produced by different agents of distinct social spaces, enable the acknowledgement and legitimation of this pandemic threat and danger, and the promotion of its public management.

“…The online survey conducted by Wise and colleagues [29] with 1591 Americans indicates that even though most respondents are aware of the risk caused by the disease to some extent, they typically underestimate their personal risk relative to that of others. This has been related with the spread of infodemia, or false news about COVID-19 and the policies to prevent it [30,31].…”

Chinese citizens in China were the first affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. Nevertheless, the disease rapidly spread around the world, leading to the worst pandemic experienced in modern societies. Spain has become one of the countries more severely affected by it, while having a large Chinese community. This study aims to explore the perception of Chinese citizens living in Spain regarding the outbreak in their host country. Communicative interviews were conducted with ten Chinese men and women who had been living in Spain for at least five years. Results show cultural differences in the coping strategies of the Chinese as a response to the pandemic, which differ from those observed by the participants in their fellow Spanish citizens. These findings unveil the potential of integrating the cultural knowledge and coping strategies of migrant groups in the host communities in managing a pandemic, as well as the negative outcomes for social cohesion and well-being from new racism emerging in the context of COVID-19.
