YouTube videos that violate these policies will be deleted, receive limited ads or no ads at all and in rare cases, YouTube can temporarily disable monetization on your channel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some guidelines for uploading coronavirus-related content:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Don\u2019t publish medical misinformation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be careful with your wording. Avoid making false claims about health matters that encourage non-medical tests for coronavirus and promote unapproved remedies such as \u201cSecret Recipes To Cure Coronavirus\u201d or \u201cCoronavirus Is Spread Through 5G Technology. When you\u2019re mentioning statistics, safety precautions and other hard facts, make sure you back them up with credible sources like the World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and National Health Service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Coronavirus: More myths to ignore - BBC News\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2F3KHb_1bkw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Don\u2019t leverage the pandemic for your own self-gain\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The coronavirus pandemic is a sensitive subject. Many people are affected as it\u2019s an ongoing global crisis. It\u2019s best to create coronavirus-related content that genuinely aims to help people, rather than leveraging the pandemic to sell or promote your own products and services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Coronavirus: More myths to ignore - BBC News\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2F3KHb_1bkw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Don\u2019t post coronavirus-related pranks or challenges that promote dangerous activities which could spread the virus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid videos that could cause mass panic and spark negative controversies. Like the \u201cLicking Toilet Seat Challenge\u201d, pretending to pass out in public, pretending to cough and sneeze on bystanders, falsely telling people that you have coronavirus to capture their reaction, dressing up in hazmat suits to inspect others and scaring others into thinking you are infected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RQDO4TrXe5g<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Don\u2019t accuse individuals\/entities\/organizations for the origin or spread of coronavirus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many misconceptions and theories about the origin of coronavirus that contradict scientific consensus. You do not want to spread hate directed towards these accused entities such as the governments created\u00a0 the virus as a bioweapon, the pandemic is a hoax or cover-up, the virus originated from certain ethnic groups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Coronavirus misinformation spreads rapidly on social media\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2yri_6nRFdM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Don\u2019t post graphic\/violent content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People are especially vulnerable during the pandemic. You don\u2019t want to shock or scare people and display disturbing content that could cause mental trauma. Avoid posting distressing footage of people visibly sick in medical care facilities, or people being forced into isolation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Coronavirus and YouTube: Answering Creator Questions\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i352PxWf_3M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are the main types of coronavirus-related content that are being demonetised and you must avoid posting on YouTube. Just be careful with your content thumbnails, title, descriptions and tags and make sure they adhere to YouTube\u2019s policies. At the end of the day, remember that your main intentions to create coronavirus-related videos are positive and focus on using your voice to spread global awareness about the pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Interested in getting your YouTube channel seen by a huge audience?
