Facebook surveys users about coronavirus symptoms as part of research project

Facebook will ask users whether they have been infected with the COVID-19 as part of a Carnegie Mellon University research project to generate ’heat maps’ of the outbreak. A link to the survey will be displayed at the top of users’ news feeds, and the results should allow them to predict where medical resources are needed. Facebook and the researchers won’t share survey responses with each other.
