For app users: We had a technical issue that made it more difficult for us to remove the paywall here. That has been corrected as of Thursday, March 19, however you need to make sure you have the most updated version of the app (version 3.9.1). To find this, click on the three lines in the top left corner of the app, scroll all the way to the bottom of the menu where you’ll see the version listed. If it’s not updated, you’ll need to go to the app store to download the latest. Once you do that, you should no longer see subscription messages on any coronavirus-related content. If you still have trouble, please delete and reinstall the app.
