In terms of COVID-19 medical practice, information coming from social media were considered "enough" or "much" or "very much" useful by 82.9% (n = 306) of the sample. To the question "During the last week, do you think that information shared on social media had an impact on your clinical practice for patients with COVID?" 28.7% (n = 106) answered "enough" and 47.1% (n = 174) "much" or "very much". Our survey shows that, at the time of COVID pandemic, many clinicians react to their urgent need for updates by seeking information through unconventional sources instead of academic journals publications.	./cache/cord-294023-knaxr7t0.txt	./txt/cord-294023-knaxr7t0.txt
