TikTok on guard of health: the fight against COVID-19

A massive pandemic is bringing people together, using all sorts of resources. Social networks are no exception. Platforms, on their own behalf, create relief funds by raising money. There is also an emphasis on informing users.

TikTok against COVID-19

Since December last year, the coronavirus, lab-named COVID-19, has infected more than 800,000 people in 143 countries. Now the largest fires in China, USA, Italy. 50,000 patients have already died from the disease.

The pandemic affects thousands of people every day. The forecasts of the World Health Organization only frighten mankind.

In order to somehow help in a difficult situation, the TikTok social network attracts users to inform about the virus, to call for the right actions.

“The main mistake is ignorance. The information about the symptoms is scattered, there are no clear instructions. It is important to give knowledge about the problem, advice on what to do and how to do it. Who to contact.”

A mass action is started not only with popular bloggers, but also with simple tiktokers.

Similar actions are being developed by other corporations. So, WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber create thematic information channels. Their platforms offer free support. The developers of heating boilers are advised to increase the temperature in the house to + 27ͦ, at which the virus molecule dies. Equipment can be delivered by trucks, semi-trailers. Cargo transportation is carried out with all traffic rules.
