Pro bono partnership leverages Messenger from Facebook to share life-saving materials

ManyChat, the number one Chat Marketing platform, has partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to assist with educating the public about COVID-19. The partnership simplifies conversations related to the pandemic, using Messenger from Facebook to automate the sharing of educational materials, including updates and preventative tips. The chat includes materials related to:

• How to prevent getting sick
• COVID-19 symptoms and what to do if you experience them
• Guidance on face coverings and how to make your own
• How to disinfect your home and frequently touched surfaces

“CDC appreciates technology companies’ support to amplify COVID-19 prevention messages nationwide,” said Carol Y. Crawford, Chief of the Digital Media Branch at CDC. “During these challenging times, it is meaningful that CDC recommendations are shared through a wide variety of communication channels.”
