Facebook on Tuesday activated a feature allowing people impacted by the coronavirus pandemic to reach out for help from their community, AFP reports.

The Community Help feature was added to the social network four years ago as a way to find shelter, food or supplies during natural disasters, and this week added the COVID-19 crisis to that list.

“We've been seeing since the beginning people asking for help,” Facebook app head Fidji Simo told AFP. “We've been working for a couple of weeks at enabling the feature.”
