Coronavirus
Mayo Clinic didn’t ‘quietly’ update its website to say hydroxychloroquine can treat COVID-19
Social Media
No, the warnings about the 'Mexico did it' virus aren’t legitimate
Several VERIFY viewers asked about Facebook posts that claim an image is going to be shared that will put a virus on your phone. There’s no evidence this exists.

It’s still more common to get COVID-19 from being in close contact with an infected person than from touching a surface.
Vaccines
Yes, you can get the updated COVID vaccine for free. Here’s how
Most insurers will cover all out-of-pocket costs for COVID-19 vaccinations. The CDC is also providing free vaccinations to uninsured and underinsured adults.
