Abstract

Nowadays, information can be disseminated extremely quickly, whether it is validated information or not. With the emergence of COVID-19, governments and specialized health agencies have implemented web portals exclusively aimed at COVID-19, as a way of providing reliable information. This work aims to present a descriptive benchmarking of representative government portals on COVID-19, through an interdisciplinary research method. The results point to the general scenario of how some countries are providing information about COVID-19.
