Facebook Messenger Launches a Coronavirus Community Hub

Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) rolled out a new coronavirus community hub for its Messenger platform. The Messenger Coronavirus (COVID-19) Community Hub provides information, tips, and resources about staying connected to loved ones, colleagues, and your community during the novel coronavirus pandemic.

At the same time, it delivers advice about how to stop the spread of misinformation as well as how to avoid coronavirus-related scams.

Stan Chudnovsky, Messenger vice president, announced the new hub, saying in a blog post that the company has seen large increases in the use of Messenger for group calls, noting that time spent on group video calls has doubled. "We hope the hub can serve as a resource for people to help maintain their communities and social connections even when they can't be together in-person," wrote Chudnovsky.
