Amid the onslaught of coronavirus misinformation, YouTube announced on Tuesday an expansion of its fact-check panels to the United States.

The video-sharing platform owned by Google launched the service last year in Brazil and India. It provides verified, third-party fact-checked information panels and articles regarding pertinent topics.

The fact checks only show up when people search for specific claims. For example, a query such as “Does ibuprofen treat COVID-19?” would turn up a fact check, but something general about the drug itself probably would not.
