KIU, Main Campus c��?? Did you know that the World Health Organization has a WhatsApp Number that can give you all the facts you need on COVID-19? 

WHO launched the dedicated messaging service approximately two weeks ago in English, Arabic, French and Spanish. The app can be accessed by over 2 billion people around the world, hence enabling WHO to get accurate information, c��?directly into the hands of the people that need it.c⬝

KIU's Community (local and international) is encouraged to use this platform to get access to factual information about COVID-19. According to WHO, the platform is relevant to anyone, from c��?government leaders to health workers and family friends.c⬝

Further, WHO advised that to access the link on WhatsApp, simply type, c��?Hic⬝, c��?Holac⬝, c��?Salutc⬝ or "?�?�?�?�?�?�" to c��?activate the conversation, prompting a menu of options that can help answer their questions about COVID-19.c⬝

The app was developed in collaboration with Praekelt.org, using Turn machine learning technology.
