It is to be noted that with the number of confirmed cases increasing globally, people have become more fearful and hoping to find a solution against the novel virus. Thereby, there have been multiple incidents where consumers have claimed that they can prevent Coronavirus. Facebook founder argues that this makes it harder for the website to promote verified information as it gets pushed back by inaccurate information.

Furthermore, he stated that when users type ‘Coronavirus’ into the search bar on Facebook, a popup will appear providing them with the latest updates of verified information from either their local health authority or by the World Health Organization. Additionally, he stated that the upcoming Annual Developer Conference to be held in San Jose, California has been cancelled due to the novel Coronavirus.
