In the current COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of digital media as a source of information for health-related behavior is impressively demonstrated. Until now there has been a lack of national research on the influence of socioeconomic differences in digital literacy and in the use of COVID-19 information. This study aims to analyze the influence of educational status and subjective social status on digital literacy and on the ability in using COVID-19 information. Data from a cross-sectional online survey were used. The results indicate social differences in digital literacy and in the ability to critically evaluate COVID-19 information.
