Based on the CNKI journal database， 163 articles related to “COVID?19” “hearsay” “gossip” “rumor” “lie” and “public opinion” in Chinese Social Science Citation Database and the Overview of Chinese Core Journals were screened. Research content and main viewpoints in the literature were sorted out. The results showed that domestic research on the management of rumor spreading about COVID?19 had achieved fruitful results， and research content mainly included the basic theory， modes and influencing factors， and countermeasures for rumor spreading. However， there are some problems in current research such as uneven distribution of disciplines， insufficient research on propagation harm， and disconnection between countermeasures and reality. In the next step， studies should adhere to the problem?oriented principle， use multi?disciplinary and multi?professional theoretical perspectives， and understand the internal logic of rumor generation and dissemination comprehensively. It is suggested to deepen the study of the harm of rumor spreading and enhance the awareness of risk prevention. Based on the Internet technology， it is recommended to establish a fast and effective rumor identification and governance mechanism that has wide coverage and coordinated linkage.
