Abstract
The Covid-19 epidemic is a great threat to human health. Countries have taken several measures to control the disease, as well as dealing with infodemics. In a situation where the infodemics makes it difficult to distinguish correct and scientific information from incorrect ones, the preparation of evidence-based content has been an effective measure, recommended by World Health Organization.
In this regard, the school of Public Health at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, in collaboration with the Iran National Institute of Health Research formed a specialized committee for public education to provide evidence-based answers to public questions. The achievements of this collective efforts were providing useful and practical educational content based on the most credible evidence. In this editorial, we will look at the actions taken and the achievements of this experience.
