“Thank you for your partnership. I am so glad we are working together to provide timely, accurate information and help people fight the coronavirus in Pakistan,” Facebook’s COO said.

Global coronavirus cases surpass one million

The federal government recently partnered with the social media giant for effective, accurate and timely dissemination of information to the masses as a precautionary measure to limit the spread of the deadly pathogen in Pakistan.

The federal government also launched a Corona Helpline on WhatsApp. This new service, which is free-to-use, provides a central source of accurate, trustworthy and up-to-date information about Coronavirus (COVID-19) for everyone in Pakistan.

PM Imran Khan and Sheryl Sandberg had earlier this year met during the World Economic Forum at Davos.
