Facebook as informative tool during times of COVID19

The use of Facebook is very popular among many of us. For me, I  have been using face book for chatting and uploading my photos. But with the outbreak of covid19 in our country, I got opportunity to use face book as informative tool. The Facebook became source of information for me in following ways:

1. UNICEF Bhutan Facebook page

This page provided me with the information on how ECCD facilitators are working during the closure of the centre to keep their students engaged. This information benefited me to complete my assignment. Actually there were many stories uploaded in this page but I choose only the ones that are relevant for my assignment.

2. Prime Minister's office Facebook page

 

This Facebook page provided the daily update on what is happening during the outbreak of the pandemic. The public are benefited from this Facebook page as the information uploaded are valid and to the date.

This video is extracted from Pm's Facebook page. In the video, Prime Minister Dr Lotay Tshering elaborates the Economic Contingency Plan with emphasis on tourism, construction and agriculture sectors.

3. Ministry of Health Facebook Page

Another Facebook page that is serving as informative tool is Ministry of Health's page. This page benefits us as it provides valid and accurate information. The health guidelines are also provided through this page.

In a nutshell, the Facebook give us many information but its all in our hand to analyze and follow the right pages for valid and accurate information.
