Masks Are Still Important: Google Doodle is Back With An Important Reminder As Covid-19 Cases Surge

New Delhi: As Covid-19 cases and new variants of the novel coronavirus surge across the world yet again, Google is back with a basic yet important precautionary message. On Tuesday, a new Google doodle released by the search giant urged people to wear a mask with a message that says, ”Masks are still important. Wear a mask. Save lives”. The Google doodle has animated the Google logo with all its letters wearing masks.

When you place your cursor on the doodle, it shows a message that says, “Masks are still important. Wear a mask and save lives”. The animated homepage of Google shows characters G-O-O-G-L-E following the social distancing norm too. It also has a vaccine syringe for the letter “L”.

“As COVID-19 continues to impact communities around the world, help stop the spread by following these steps,” Google said in its message.

The global COVID-19 caseload has topped 131.6 million, and deaths have climbed to more than 2.85 million, according to John Hopkins University. Meanwhile, cases in India have reached a record high as the country reported over 1 lakh new infections on Monday–the highest since the pandemic broke out.
