[Veni Markovski]

Are there other chapters thinking (or may be doing??) in the same
direction of providing factual information and tackling fake news re
#COVID19?

>>     The new ISOC Bulgaria Facebook page

>>     <https://isocbg.wordpress.com/>, where the articles we published

>>     shared 31 times. ISOC - Bulgaria was also approached by the
>>     National Public Radio, and asked to share details in one of the
>>     morning shows, which has pretty good audience.
>>
>>     The whole campaign was a success.
>>     We are thankful to the Internet Society Foundation for their support!
