Statement by Charlotte Petri Gornitzka, UNICEF Deputy Executive Director for Partnerships, on coronavirus misinformation
"A recent erroneous online message circulating in several languages around the world and purporting to be a UNICEF communication appears to indicate, among other things, that avoiding ice cream and other cold foods can help prevent the onset of the disease. This is, of course, wholly untrue".
Young rescuers— friends of UNICEF and the Ministry of Emergency Situations!
UNICEF awarded the prize to the XIV International Rally of Young Rescuers and Firefighters participants who are well aware of safety measures and ways to rescue a comrade who has gotten into trouble.
