In an attempt to minimise the growing misinformation around the novel coronavirus, superstar Priyanka Chopra Jonas on Tuesday shared important and authentic details about COVID-19 from UNICEF.

The actor took to Twitter to share the information with her followers.

"Misinformation during a health crisis can leave us unprotected, spread fear & panic. Knowing the facts is key to protecting yourself & your family," tweeted 'The Sky is Pink' actor.

"Visit the @UNICEFwebsite for reliable information on how to talk to children about #coronavirus," she added along with a link to UNICEF's article on COVID-19.

Globally, the virus, which originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan, has infected more than 167,500 people and killed 6600.
