COVID-19 Fact-checked Claims Dataset

The dataset contains COVID-related claims reviewed by fact-checking organizations from around the world. The dataset was collected between January 22, 2020 and January 31, 2020 using a custom Python script by querying Google Fact Check Tools API on a daily basis using search keywords: "Coronavirus" or "COVID". Notes: 1. Only claims indexed by the Google Fact Check Tools are included. See more information about this resource at https://toolbox.google.com/factcheck/about 2. Google Fact Check Tools aggregates data from over 100 fact-checking organizations and each of them uses slightly different textual ratings, titles, and annotations. As a result, the dataset may contain links to multiple reviews of the same claim, reviewed by different fact-checkers. 3. Since the dataset contains claims in different languages, we used Google's Translation API to translate some fields of non-English claims (fields: "text_en", "claimant_en" and "textualRating_en"). We kept the original values as well.
