El estudio presentado en este artículo analizó la fiabilidad de la información publicada en los principales grupos de discusión brasileños sobre covid-19 encontrados en Facebook. Los grupos (abiertos y cerrados) se identificaron a partir de los descriptores: “covid 19”; “covid 19 Brasil”; "coronavirus"; “Coronavirus Brasil”. Se seleccionaron para el estudio los grupos con mayor número de integrantes (n = 10), así como las diez publicaciones más recientes de cada uno de ellos, siempre que se refiriesen a los temas clave relacionados con el covid-19: prevención, tratamiento y contagio. Para verificar la fiabilidad de la información expresada en el contenido difundido, se sometieron las publicaciones que contenían noticias sobre la enfermedad a inspección y se compararon con fuentes fiables (técnica de verificación de hechos), como guías y manuales concernientes al covid-19. Entre todas las publicaciones analizadas (n = 100) solo cuatro fueron identificadas como noticias falsas, siendo dos sobre tratamiento, una sobre contagio y una sobre secuelas. Todas las noticias consideradas falsas fueron clasificadas como noticias fabricadas, construidas con un título sensacionalista y atractivo para llamar la atención de los usuarios. Sin embargo, los contenidos identificados como falsos promovieron pocas interacciones entre los miembros de los grupos. En el estudio, las informaciones que tenían carácter de noticias encontradas en los grupos de Facebook sobre covid-19 eran en su mayoría fiables, lo que sugiere que los filtros en línea de las redes sociales para identificar y retirar de la circulación las noticias falsas pueden ser una herramienta útil para combatir la propagación de noticias falsas.
