I. INTRODUCTION
Alongside the health and economic crisis that the COVID-19 pandemic is still causing in the whole world, there is another form of crisis that started before the pandemic but has grown to be more threatening to all people under the current circumstances – the COVID-19 fake news crisis. According to Cambridge dictionary, "fake news" is a term that refers to false stories that appear to be news, spread on the internet or other media, usually created to influence political views or as a joke [1]. This phenomenon has been evolving and most people have been exposed to fake news at some point. The main reason for our exposure to fake news is social media. According to [2], the use of social media has increased among the American adults by 1 – 2 additional hours per day as of March 2020. Furthermore, 46% of respondents on a survey stated that their use of social media was to stay up-to-date with the news [3]. Other reasons for the continuously increased widespread of fake news, include political influence, lack of awareness towards fake news, the higher levels of uncertainty and distrust and the existence of fake-news-spreading bots [4].
