Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg said that no one is aware of the after-effects that will be caused to the marketing industry post-coronavirus.
In a recent interview, COO Sandberg was queried regarding the coronavirus situation and how Facebook will mitigate the outcome. However, she says that at this point, it is too early to predict the real impact of the pandemic.

They are also collaborating with the health authorities to detect any spam content that revolves around the global health issue.
