  • \'Covid-19 is a virus developed to rule the world\'is just one of the many fake-news published on the Web In this pandemic period, the Web is flooded with real news, allegedly true or blatantly false To understand how fake news is affecting the Covid-19 perception, we selected 40 news (either true or fake) related to the origin, diffusion, treatment and effects of Covid-19 and we asked 293 volunteers to express their opinion on the truthfulness of the news Then, we propose an Awareness index to compute knowledge degree of the volunteers The results highlight a large ignorance on medical news, ignorance that goes beyond educational background The study highlights the need for Health Institution to enter social media platforms in order to clearly explain what is true and what is false on Covid-19 © 2020 IEEE
