WhatsApp introduces new restrictions on viral messages
April 27, 2020

Owners of the social media messaging app, WhatsApp, have introduced new restrictions on the number of viral messages users can forward by 70%.

This means that highly forwarded messages can only be shared to not more than one person.

Speaking on the development on Monday, the messaging apps’s spokesperson said the caveat was launched much earlier in April to control the spread of misleading information about the coronavirus pandemic.
“WhatsApp is committed to doing our part to tackle viral messages. We recently introduced a limit to sharing ‘highly forwarded messages’ to just one chat. Since putting into place this new limit globally, there has been a 70% reduction in the number of highly forwarded messages sent on WhatsApp. This change is helping keep WhatsApp a place for personal and private conversations”, the spokesperson said.

Nearly Two Million Australians Download Coronavirus Tracker App

Updated April 27, 2020

Nearly two million Australians rushed to download a new smartphone app designed to make coronavirus contact tracing easier, the government said Monday, overlooking privacy concerns in the hope of speeding up the end of social-distancing lockdowns.

Health Minister Greg Hunt hailed take-up since the app was released Sunday evening as “extraordinary”, saying 1.9 million people had downloaded the program in less than 24 hours.

The nation of 25 million people has uncovered just over 6,700 instances of coronavirus, with the rate of new cases falling to 10-20 per day despite widespread testing.

Like governments around the world, Australian authorities are under growing pressure to ease restrictions on travel and public gatherings imposed to halt the spread of the virus, but which have devastated the economy.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said many of the restrictions, which include a ban on travel to Australia by non-residents, will last until at least September.

The technological modications administered by these countries have really proven to be cutting edge with outstanding effects in trying to detect this virus,but we have to also consider underdevelop countries like Nigeria who are not financially capable of administering these modifications.
