Facilitating Access to Verified Information on COVID-19

Facebook have given the Ministry of Health free ad credits to run coronavirus education campaigns on its platforms.

The company is also launching a WhatsApp Business API – a dedicated Coronavirus hotline, as an automated ‘chatbot’ service to provide answers to common questions about Coronavirus from the Ministry of Health 24 hours a day and enable the Ministry of Health to send urgent messages to all Kenyans who opt-in for the service.
