The Morrison government is taking to social media platforms to inform Australians about health advice, and the measures the Commonwealth and the states are taking to tackle the coronavirus crisis.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison says people can gain access to a new messaging service on WhatsApp by typing oz.gov.au/whatsapp.
Likewise, the Apple app store is now providing a coronavirus app that can be downloaded.

"That will assist you to get the accurate and timely information about what is being done by governments around the country to support you, as you and your family and your household and your community work through the difficult months ahead because of the coronavirus," Mr Morrison said on Sunday.
