The tool has been built for the health departments of States and Union Territories to share essential Covid-19 related updates with their communities.

Facebook claims that this is part of their ongoing efforts to support the public health authorities’ work to keep people safe and informed during the coronavirus public health crisis.

The feature was first launched in the US and India is the second country to get this tool. Facebook has partnered with 33 states and Union Territories to roll this out in their respective jurisdictions.
