The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) have partnered with WhatsApp to set up a central messaging platform which provides valuable and up-to-date information about the novel coronavirus.
People around the world are recommended to save the official number (+41 798 931 892) on WhatsApp.
“Partnerships with private sector companies like WhatsApp will help get this vital, real time information from the World Health Organization and local health officials to billions of users around the globe.”
The section titled “Myth Busters” also aims to dispel misinformation surrounding the novel infection.
