摘要
The abundance and rapid evolution of COVID-19 information on the internet can make navigating consumer health resources related to the pandemic difficult and altogether confusing. However, online tools have emerged that allow members of the public to assess their symptoms and quickly access reliable health information in an interactive and engaging way. This column discusses one of these tools, the John Hopkins's Coronavirus Self-Checker, which allows users to check themselves for symptoms as well as get tips on protecting themselves and others from COVID-19 transmission.
