Ever since
coronavirus has put a hold on the lives of most people, the world has changed
its way of looking at things. Things that were supposed to run their course for
a long period of time are now added to the pile of things that have been
suspended until everything goes back to normal. Now that COVID-19 has become
the new reality, people feel that they must keep themselves updated with the
latest news related to COVID-19. To help serve this cause, Facebook has decided
to participate in awareness activities.
Facebook is one of
the most popular platforms where people not only share and comment on things
but also cash the opportunity to protest against subjects that do not sit right
with them. Similarly, the awareness campaign for COVID-19 has grown like wildfire
over the entire platform. This feature not only helps people get into the
accurate details of the virus but also keeps people away from misinformation.
We cannot deny the fact that platforms like Facebook are also hubs of
misinformation which leads to distinctive approaches towards the same solution
for many people.
To help people
avoid that route, Facebook has started its very own campaign where people can
easily come together, get their queries and perceptions resolved, and seek
mental health resources most easily. It also provides people with the
opportunity to connect with health organizations or make donations to help
contribute to the global cause.
Apart from the
details and news, Facebook also keeps its users updated with the progress of
the COVID-19 vaccine. Reassurance is important and especially in the case of a
virus that has literally put a lockdown on the lives of people. When people are
reassured that the vaccine is in process, they feel a little more confident
about their future.
The main purpose of this entire effort is to keep people connected with what’s happening around the world and how things are being carried out to save the planet from this deadly virus.
