Facebook working with Govt on Covid-19

STAFF REPORTER

KARACHI Facebook is working in Pakistan with the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations & Coordination (NHSRC) and world organisations such as WHO and UNICEF to provide accurate information about COVID-19. Anyone who searches for information related to the virus on Facebook or Instagram will be shown educational pop-ups on top of search results connecting them to expert health organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the NHSRC. Over the past month, we notified millions of people on their News Feed with posts directing them to local health authorities on Facebook for further information about the Coronavirus. More recently, Facebook launched a Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information Center on the platform to act as a central hub for people to find information and resources from trusted health authorities such as the NHSRC, as well as actions they can take to stay healthy and support their family and community.
