The social network also invited software experts to participate in an online campaign aimed at finding ways to use "Messenger" to make it easier for people to get away from each other, and to provide accurate information about the epidemic, "Deputy Messenger" Stan Shdenovsky said in a blog.
Shadnovsky revealed a global program aimed at connecting official health organizations and United Nations agencies with developers who can devise ways to use Messenger to share accurate information and speed up the response to individual questions.
Software developers, for example, can help agencies and agencies complete responses to frequently asked questions to allow their workers to do more difficult tasks.
Developers can also help organizations use software to quickly publish updated information.
UNICEF and the Pakistani Ministry of Health are using "Messenger" to keep people abreast of developments in the Coruna epidemic, according to what the Facebook-owned service said.
In turn, Facebook-owned WhatsApp also launched a free WHO alert system to answer questions about the emerging coronavirus and expose rumors associated with the Coronavirus.
This service has started in the English language and will be expanded in the coming weeks to include Arabic, Chinese, French, as well as Russian and Spanish.
Last week, WhatsApp also launched an "information center" on the newly created Corona, in partnership with the World Health Organization and other United Nations organizations.
"WhatsApp", which has more than one billion users, has allocated a grant of one million dollars to an "international news validation network" devoted to refuting the rumors surrounding the emerging Corona that spread through messaging services.
"The most important step that WhatsApp can take is to help people communicate directly with health officials who provide up-to-date information on the Coronavirus," WhatsApp spokesperson Carl Woog told AFP.
Concerns have been raised about using Messenger and other chat services to spread false information about the virus.
