The government has today launched a new, free WhatsApp service to provide official, trustworthy and timely information about coronavirus (Covid-19)
It works via an automate "chatbot" allowing you to get answers to the most common questions and will also allow the government to send messages to all opted in users if required.
To use, simply add 07860 064 422 to your phone contacts and then message "hi" in a WhatsApp message to get started. You'll receive back a welcome message with details of the topics covered, including prevention, symptoms, mythbusters and travel.
