Uno de los tantos desafíos que impone el brote del coronavirus, calificado como pandemia por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), es ofrecer información certera y frenar el alcance de los datos engañosos y/o confusos, sobre todo en redes sociales y servicios de mensajería.Today @WhatsApp has launched a hub for health workers, educators, small businesses, and others that are using WhatsApp to support one another during this extraordinary crisis.

Already several ministries of health are providing updates to citizens on WhatsApp and we will expand these services together. — Will Cathcart (@wcathcart) March 18, 2020We have also made a $1m donation to @IFCN to expand the presence of local fact checkers on @WhatsApp. There are over a dozen so far, and we want more to be able to do their important work so rumors are identified and countered. — Will Cathcart (@wcathcart) March 18, 2020 |
