Resumo: The new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) pandemic has been a topic of discussion in traditional and digital media around the world. Anxious for information about the virus and its harm, the population begins to believe and share news without checking their reliability, which may lead disinformation, fear and chaos to other recipients. In order to ensure a scientific contribution on the topic, this article presents a bibliographic review on SARS-CoV-2 and, further, analyzes the use of the term “coronavirus” in Fake News. The results point to a growing interest of the population in seeking information about the term and the fight that has been carried out not only by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, but also by traditional media vehicles for the perpetuation of Fake News on the internet.

Ansiosa por informações sobre o vírus e seus malefícios, a população recebe e compartilha diversos textos e vídeos sem confirmar a veracidade dessas notícias, o que causa desinformação, medo e estado de caos a todos os receptores. Com o intuito de assegurar uma contribuição científica sobre o tema, o presente artigo apresenta inicialmente uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o SARS-CoV-2 e analisa, também, a utilização do termo “coronavírus” em notícias falsas, as chamadas Fake News. Os resultados apontam para um crescente interesse da população por informações sobre o termo e o combate que vem sendo realizado não apenas pelo Ministério de Saúde do Brasil, mas também por veículos da mídia tradicional para a perpetuação das notícias falsas na internet.Universidade Federal da Bahia2020-04-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/nit/article/view/3597810.9771/cp.v13i2.35978Cadernos de Prospecção; Vol. 13 No. 2 (2020): Edição Especial - Coronavírus (SARS-COV-2) e COVID-19; 331Cadernos de Prospecção; v. 13 n. 2 (2020): Edição Especial - Coronavírus (SARS-COV-2) e COVID-19; 3312317-00261983-1358reponame:Cadernos de Prospecção (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/nit/article/view/35978/20912Copyright (c) 2020 Cadernos de Prospecçãohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSousa Júnior, João Henriques deRaasch, MicheleSoares, João CoelhoRibeiro, Letícia Virgínia Henriques Alves de Sousa2022-03-03T11:41:27Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/35978Revistahttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/nitPUBhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/nit/oaicadernosdeprospeccao@gmail.com || maliceribeiro@yahoo.com.br || cadernosdeprospeccao@gmail.com || saionaraluna@gmail.com2317-00261983-1358opendoar:2022-03-03T11:41:27Cadernos de Prospecção (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false
