The world over, the COVID-19 pandemic and infodemic has become a serious issue for concern for governments, citizens, health experts, researchers, pharmaceutical companies, information managers and analysts, and international organisations, among others. The epidemic of fake or unhygienic information has spiralled, and strategies to counter it are now on the agenda of governments, information experts, and all those who are on the frontline of the war against the COVID-19 pandemic and infodemic. Librarians as information experts are raising their voices as they chart a new trajectory in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. This qualitative research examines how librarians in Zimbabwe are contributing to the fight against the COVID-19 misinformation through promoting praxis-oriented information hygienic practices. The study brings to light how the COVID-19 pandemic and infodemic has become a borderline for conquest by librarians.
