In an effort to ensure that the latest updates related to COVID-19 are as visible as possible, YouTube announced today that they’re launching a dedicated hub on the YouTube homepage for stories related to the coronavirus outbreak.

For YouTube, the dedicated shelf is a means of promoting “authoritative content” to users. In the U.S. most of these videos appear to be from national publications. It will be rolling out in 16 countries with more on the way, according to the company’s tweet.
