Keeping People Safe and Informed About the Coronavirus

We continue working to keep people safe and informed about COVID-19. We have connected over 2 billion people to resources from health authorities through our COVID-19 Information Center and pop-ups on Facebook and Instagram with over 600 million people clicking through to learn more. Since January, people have raised over $100 million for COVID-19 related fundraisers on Facebook and Instagram. Over half of those donations were under $25.

Facts About COVID-19 

To further limit the spread of misinformation, this week we are launching a dedicated section of the COVID-19 Information Center called Facts about COVID-19. It will debunk common myths that have been identified by the World Health Organization such as drinking bleach will prevent the coronavirus or that taking hydroxychloroquine can prevent COVID-19. This is the latest step in our ongoing work to fight misinformation about the pandemic.  

Global Reminders to Wear Face Coverings With the rise in COVID-19 cases in the US and in many other parts of the world, we are expanding our alerts reminding people to wear face coverings internationally as recommended by health authorities. (Refer to attached image) These alerts have been running at the top of Facebook and Instagram in the US since early July. Starting this week, we will expand them to more countries globally
