Clapping hands or lighting lamps can help stop the spread of Coronavirus', 'air-conditioners lead to faster spread, 'high temperature in India is a major deterrent for the spread of Coronavirus, 'the spread in India is lesser than in other countries' — statements like these have been spreading like wildfire ever since the outbreak of COVID-19. As such, 65 Indian scientists have banded together to bust rumours and clarify your Corona doubts.

The group uploaded its first lot of 18 digital slides that bust various rumours in 17 languages on their website indscicov.in and social media accounts. Each slide states a rumour as true or false, followed by a scientific explanation. The group also comprises graphic designers and translators under the umbrella of Indian Scientists' Response to COViD-19 (ISRC).
