Abstract: Stigma is a discrimination against an identifiable group of people, a place, or a nation. A lack of knowledge about how COVID-19 spreads, fears about disease and death, and gossip are the major cause for rumors and myths. These leads to prejudices against people and communities. Such behavior may culminate into increased hostility, chaos and unnecessary social disruptions. There is an urgent need to counter such prejudices and to rise as a community that is empowered with health literacy and responds appropriately in the face of this adversity.
