"China first reported an unusual cluster of pneumonia cases in the city
of Wuhan on Dec. 31, and, within a month, the internet was infected with
misinformation about the responsible virus, now called the 2019 novel
coronavirus.

Fact-checking organizations, including FactCheck.org, from 30 countries
collaborated through the International Fact-Checking Network at the
Poynter Institute to debunk the false claims as they developed. So far,
those organizations have published more than 80 fact-checking articles."
