The World Health Organization has joined TikTok to prevent the spread of coronavirus misinformation online.

The WHO joined TikTok on Friday, the same day that the organization upgraded the global risk of the coronavirus outbreak to"very high" which is its top level of risk assessment. The WHO TikTok account has approximately 160,500 followers, 1.2 million likes and nearly 50 million views across the two videos.

The first video from WHO is captioned:"We are joining @tiktok to provide you with reliable and timely public health advice! Our first post: How to protect yourself from #coronavirus?" In the first TikTok video, Benedetta Allegranzi, Technical Lead, Infection Prevention and Control at WHO, shares advice on how to protect yourself and others from getting the new coronavirus which causes the COVID-19 disease, like washing your hands with soap and water, sneezing into a tissue and discarding of it immediately, and avoiding close contact with anyone who has a fever or cough.
