It spreads mostly due to bio-contacts, which leads people to follow social distancing and stay away from social gatherings. It leads the people to bound themselves to stay with their family members at their home only, being at home, staying idle, or following work from home schedule by working online through the Internet over the electronic gadgets such as mobiles, laptops, desktops, etc. It leads the people to attach to online activities more for spending their time at their home, which enormously increases people interest in social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. As it was a major pandemic period, it created panic and a fearful situation in society. It makes the people believe any news and guidelines spreading through social media platforms irrespective of checking their trustworthiness and truthiness of it. This pandemic period created a seriously bad impact on society’s emotional, physical, and mental health that is a great loss to a country even all over the world. Under this, many unwanted messages are spreading for one’s interest or a group to polarize their interest. In a panic situation, it is highly required of a solution that prevents the spread of these negative vibes to maintain the overall health of society. This chapter tries to implement an optimal solution using various kinds of layers and different optimization functions. It particularly gives better performance in the case of sequential data using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) frameworks trained with the dataset for identifying the fake news and guidelines spread over on COVID-19. To train the model, a dataset was taken from the Twitter Application Programming Interface (API). Finally, the truthiness detection technique with social interaction is completed using Twitter dataset. The efficacy of the suggested method is demonstrated by the obtained results on a Twitter dataset. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Bio-contactCOVID-19DatasetDeep learningEmbeddings from language models (ELMo)Long short-term memory model (LSTM)Sentiment analysis (SA)TrustworthyTrustworthiness of COVID-19 News and Guidelines
