The CoronaVirusFacts Alliance Database

Led by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) at the Poynter Institute, the CoronaVirusFacts database gathers all of the falsehoods that have been detected in more than 70 countries and published in at least 40 languages about the pandemic, by uniting over a 100 fact-checking organisations from around the world. The project allows the user to see how many false claims have been analysed per country, the level and category of falsehood, and the organisation that revised the claim.
