The fact that not everything is known about the coronavirus has led to a lot of misinformation, some of which regrettably has taken root in the minds of people. Some of India's best authors are giving us an assurance that the newspaper is not a potential carrier of the dreaded infection. WHO, CDC, many eminent doctors and leading virologists have cleared the newspaper of this charge. Even the state and central governments have put newspapers in the essential services list because the newspaper plays a critical role in disseminating validated news about the disease and educates readers on how to cope with the epidemic without misinformation.
