Google seeks to tackle coronavirus misinformation

Google has developed a plan to tackle coronavirus misinformation.

The tech giant has created vaccine information panels in its search results in a bid to combat misinformation, after the UK's became the first Western country to approve a vaccine for the disease.

The panels will be introduced in more countries over the coming weeks and months as more countries approve vaccines.

The overarching ambition behind the move is to ensure that accurate information about the vaccine is provided, including how, when, and where people can receive the shots.

Google has shared similar information via coronavirus panels on YouTube, which it also owns.
