Vietnam has the highest trust in COVID-19 media coverage, with 89% of respondents expressing their belief in a poll recently conducted by the UK’s data analysis and market research firm YouGov.

It is followed by India with 67% and China 62%.

In Germany, 54% of people trust their media's coronavirus coverage, while the rate is 50% in Spain, 42% in the US and 38% in Italy.

The UK's media landscape has been bitterly fragmented and divided by Brexit and it is hardly a surprise that faith in its coronavirus coverage is one of the lowest in the dataset at just 31%. Behind the UK is France with only 26%.
