Description: Study design: systematic review. Research question: What are the pros and cons of using social media during the COVID-19 pandemic? Condition or domain being studied: A new coronavirus infection, called COVID-19, was first identified in Wuhan, China, in late 2019. COVID-19 is caused by coronavirus 2 of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2), and has spread quickly to other countries – Pandemic declared by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2020). Opinions and feelings related to COVID-19 spread quite rapidly nowadays, thus likely influencing public behavior during the epidemic (Wang Z and Ye X, 2017). Nowadays, social media has become the main channel through which the public can obtain information and express their opinions and feelings (Han et al., 2020). Inclusion Criteria: We will include studies that assessed COVID-19’s news distribution through any type of social media during the pandemic, without language restrictions. We will search for studies from November 2019 till now.
