Now, Facebook is working on a puzzling reaction button for the coronavirus era: a Covid-19 themed button.

Researcher Jane Manchun Wong, who frequently uncovers social media features in development, first spotted the new feature. Facebook has confirmed to Mashable that it is indeed working on the button, but declined to provide further details about its purpose or timing.

The button at this point carries a similar logo to the Facebook/Instagram "Stay Home" sticker, which Facebook rolled out as a way to encourage people to practice social distancing. It also has the same branding as the button in the Facebook "Explore" sidebar that leads users to Facebook's coronavirus information portal.
