Subject: Access NFB-NEWSLINE For COVID-19 Updates

 

In response to the current situation with the coronavirus (COVID-19), the
National Federation of the Blind has decided to provide up-to-date
information to all eligible subscribers of the service.

COVID-19 updates are available in the Breaking News Online category of
NFB-NEWSLINE. This information is being obtained by the system searching the
thirty-four publications in the Breaking News Online category for
"coronavirus" and displaying the results. This information will also be
available for those few states that are currently not sponsored for the next
sixty days starting Monday, March 16th.

Access the coronavirus COVID-19 information using the telephone by pressing
5 from the main menu, then press 1 for the Breaking News Online category,
followed by pressing the 1 key which will bring you to the virus
information. If you are using the NFB-NEWSLINE Mobile IOS app, look for the
virus information under the "All Publications" section. The content can be
accessed with Braille devices such as note-takers and refreshable Braille
displays.
