2019 年 12 月，发现了一种新的严重呼吸道冠状病毒感染 (COVID-19)，此后已在全球范围内传播，最终于 2020 年 3 月 11 日被世界卫生组织宣布为大流行病。对于医生和相关医疗专业人员来说，此后的一段时期，来自多个区域、国家和国际卫生当局、监管机构和专业协会的信息流不断增加且变化迅速。尽管社交媒体平台在信息的即时传播方面发挥着积极作用，医疗专业人员也积极参与其中，但电子邮件等传统渠道仍然被强调作为一种沟通手段。本文讨论了 Facebook、Reddit 和 TikTok 等社交媒体平台提供的传播医疗信息的机会，既供医生使用，又作为向广大公众传达重要信息的手段。
In December 2019, a new severe respiratory coronavirus infection (COVID-19) was detected and has since spread across the globe to be ultimately declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. For physicians and allied medical professionals, the period since has been marked by an increased and rapidly changing flow of information from multiple regional, national and international health authorities, regulating bodies and professional associations. Although social media platforms have an active presence in the instant dissemination of information and medical professionals display active participation in them, traditional channels such as email are still being emphasized as a means of communication. This article discusses the opportunities offered by social media platforms such as Facebook, Reddit and TikTok to disseminate medical information both for the use of physicians and as a means to communicate essential information to the public at large.
