World Health Organization joins TikTok to share 'reliable' coronavirus information.

Social media is being flooded with misinformation about coronavirus, and the World Health Organization joined TikTok on Friday in an effort to stop some of it.

Since the outbreak began, people have shared false information through coronavirus-related memes on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. Some of the online posts claim that vitamin C can "stop" the illness. Another says garlic will help.

Each of which has been debunked. The U.S. has started human testing of a drug to treat the virus, but so far there isn't a cure, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

"We are joining @tiktok to provide you with reliable and timely public health advice! Our first post: How to protect yourself from #coronavirus," the public safety organization wrote in its first post on the platform.
