Telegram is a useful place to get the latest about #covid-19

The Covid-19 situation is ever changing quickly. Only two months ago it seemed a distant epidemic in China. Now it is in our shores with over 1000 infected, 8 dead (so far) and a nationwide MCO (Movement Control Order) in place.
Where are you getting the latest news about Covid-19? Aside from web, you can also get good information channels from reliable sources in Telegram, a messenger application which has many advantages over Whatsapp, including News Channels and the ability to host large groups.
