From the Key Findings: "In this RISJ [Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism] factsheet we identify some of the main types, sources, and claims of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] misinformation seen so far. We analyse a sample of 225 pieces of misinformation rated false or misleading by fact-checkers and published in English between January and the end of March 2020, drawn from a collection of fact-checks maintained by First Draft News."
