Pavel Durov on channel told that this month the command of the messenger was verified and sent out information about 17 official channels, from the ministries of health in different countries.

And even though Telegram is known that he is not cooperating with the governments, in this case an exception was made for the dissemination of information about the coronavirus.

"the Current pandemic is a threat to our kind. When it ends, the world will not return to a normal life. We will witness a civilizational shift that will spread through the generations. We all need to ensure that the new world was to be born was better than the one we leave behind.

This is a chance for people to use their time in isolation to create the best version of yourself, and the chance for technology to prove its value to humanity. That's why I believe that we in the Telegram must do everything possible not only to contain the pandemic and to combat the spread of inaccurate information, but also to find new ways of moving forward."

in Addition to providing informational support, Pavel Durov promised to contribute to the solution of the problem of education in isolation and talk about several projects anti-covid19, in a Telegram in the coming days in the blog.
