Twitter to Prioritize COVID-19 Tweets From Verified Accounts

Twitter published a PSA notifying users that tweets from verified accounts will be prioritized over regular accounts for COVID-19 updates. That doesn’t apply to just any account with a blue checkmark, however. Twitter is doing what’s necessary to find the right experts to highlight. “PSA about what we’re doing to Verify Twitter accounts that are providing credible updates around #COVID19: we are working with global public health authorities to identify experts and have already Verified hundreds of accounts, but there’s more to do and we could use your help.”
