Google has pledged $50 million to help fight the coronavirus pandemic. On a newly-launched website about all things COVID-19, the company said that a part of that $50 million pledge is $5M in matching donations to the UN Foundation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization (WHO).
It’s worth noting that Google launched its dedicated COVID-19 hub after much back and forth between the company and US President, Donald Trump, about whether the search giant was building a website with information about the novel coronavirus. While Trump last week announced that Google was building such a site, the company itself didn’t originally plan to do so, but seemingly changed its mind at a later stage.
