Google Doodle Says 'Wear a Mask' in Its Latest Illustration

Google doodle on Tuesday drew attention towards the need for face masks as the coronavirus pandemic continues to rage across the world, with an endearing illustration. “Masks are still important. Wear a mask and save lives,” Google said in its doodle.

Tuesday’s doodle has all the alphabets of ‘google’ masked up. 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.

A Google Doodle is a special, temporary alteration of the logo on Google’s homepages intended to commemorate holidays, events, achievements, and notable historical figures.

The first interactive Doodle appeared shortly thereafter celebrating Pac-Man and hyperlinks also began to be added to Doodles, usually linking to a search results page for the subject of the Doodle. By 2014, Google had published over 2,000 regional and international Doodles throughout its homepages, often featuring guest artists, musicians, and personalities.

By 2019, the “Doodlers” team has created over 4,000 doodles for Google’s homepages around the world
