The coronavirus is spreading rapidly in India, due to which 77 people have died. With this, more than 3,000 people are infected by it. Meanwhile, fake news is also getting virus on social media platforms. This is the reason why accurate and reliable information is not reaching the people. At the same time, to eliminate this problem, Wikipedia is working on a special project, named SWASTHA. The objective of this project is to make available accurate information of Kovid-19 virus to the people.

Simultaneously, Abhishek Suryavanshi, the founder of Wikipedia's project SWASTHA, has said that Wikipedia's article is being read about 10 times more than the official site of CDC and WHO. At the same time, about one million users are reading an article daily on Wikipedia's platform. Apart from this, users have also been given the option to correct the incorrect information in the article. Abhishek has said that the Government of India has a lot of information related to the coronavirus, while Wikipedia has users but no content.

Along with this, he has further said that we will soon improve the content and provide the right information related to the virus to the people. For your information, let us know that SWASTHA is currently working closely with the Ministry of Health of India. In addition, SWASTHA has received support from WHO and experts in this virus. At the same time, Wikipedia provided information related to the coronavirus in Hindi, Bangla, Tamil, Bhojpuri, Arabic, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu and Urdu languages last month.
