Subscribe to Fortune’s Outbreak newsletter for a daily roundup of stories on the coronavirus outbreak and its impact on global business.

In the face of a global pandemic like the coronavirus, one of the best defenses is staying armed with information. Misinformation is spreading quickly and easily as the world faces all the anxiety around COVID-19. That makes it hard to decipher what is real and what is fake, particularly on social media, where most Americans get at least some of their news.

Fortune compiled a Twitter list of trusted public health officials, epidemiologists, virus experts, family doctors, and others for you to follow.

https://twitter.com/i/lists/1238584955560697861?s=20

Many accounts, like Dr. David Juurlink, are sharing their own experiences in the field treating coronavirus patients and giving advice for the best ways individuals can act to stop its spread.

Colleagues @BogochIsaac and @ADetsky, who like many of us worked on the front lines of SARS, have urgent advice for the Ontario government on how to confront COVID-19.

Their advice is of vital importance, and it's also largely generalizable.

Some share helpful graphics that explain the spread of the virus across continents.

Over the last days (and nights) @danielgavrilov built this interactive COVID19 table.

It answers the question:
How long did it take for the number of confirmed cases to double?

It also plots cases over time.

This table – for all countries – is here: https://t.co/6CMdqP6MpX pic.twitter.com/UY0L5ehejV

And others post messages refuting the spread of misinformation and pseudoscience.

My new comment: "Alternative medicine & the #coronavirus" https://t.co/PZeeVF8bEv cc @DrJenGunter @picardonhealth #COVID19

I’m glad there is growing outrage about the coronavirus bunk. But the bunk has always been there. It shouldn’t take a public health crisis to stir action.

Additionally, Fortune‘s “Coronavirus updates” list includes several government offices and officials sharing communications on behalf of their country or state’s health departments.
