Watch: Coronavirus Myths Debunked
It's normal to feel scared, worried or stressed out during a public health crisis - especially a global one like the Coronavirus.
The World Health Organisation has certain suggestions to protect your mental health during this time, like having a strong support system and verifying all facts before panicking.
Now, apart from these, the WHO has debunked a long list of myths associated with the CONVID-19 - which is Coronavirus' official name.
