SAN FRANCISCO: Facebook on Tuesday activated a feature allowing people impacted by the coronavirus pandemic to reach out for help from their community.
Facebook set the help radius by default to 50 miles in the US and 100 kilometres in other countries, but people can scale back the area in which they are available to be of assistance."You can adjust it down if you can only help in your neighbourhood," Simo said. People wishing to help support coronavirus relief efforts can donate money through a UN-Facebook fundraiser, with Facebook matching donations up to a total of US$10 million.
"Since the beginning of the spread of the virus and especially as people started practicing social distancing, we've seen them turn to Facebook to connect with and take action to help their communities," Facebook said.
