11.01.2022 The Royal Melbourne Hospital is an evidence-based organisation. As such, we do not support the sharing of misinformation on COVID-19 on social media through com...ments, shares, updates or otherwise. COVID-19 has been proven by scientists to be a real virus. It is not caused by 5G or the Chinese Government. As COVID-19 is a novel (new) coronavirus, we are still learning about the long-term effects of the illness. However, we have observed that patients who recover still have lingering effects of the illness up to months after contracting the virus. We will say this with certainty: COVID-19 is not "just the flu". It is a serious illness with devastating consequences. Please make sure you get your information on COVID-19 from trusted sources, including the World Health Organization (WHO), Victorian Department of Health & Human Services and Australian Government Department of Health. Our health professionals are real people going through a really tough time. We are fortunate that we are able to bring you their stories from the frontline in order for you to understand this debilitating virus. If you are engaging on our social media, we ask that you do it respectfully. And, most of all, be kind. Comments which spread misinformation or are hurtful to our staff will be deleted.
