Facebook has expanded its Coronavirus Information Centre to 24 more countries in sub-Saharan Africa, this time including Rwanda, two weeks after announcing presence in 17 more.
The information centres are part of the tech firm’s effort in the global fight against COVID-19 by empowering people around the world with the latest news and information from trusted health authorities.
The feature also provides active users with resources and tips to stay healthy and support their community.
The Coronavirus Information Centre appears at the top of the Facebook app’s news feed that provides a central place for people to keep informed about the virus.
It includes real-time updates from national health authorities and global organisations such as the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization.
