**Charities, bloggers and businesses need to illustrate their coronavirus-related
content and appeals with relevant images. That can be a challenge with some staff
on furlough, others working from home and minimal opportunity to get out to take
photos. So here is a collection of coronavirus image and video resources, most of
them free, that might be of some help.**

Coronavirus news and articles abound with that illustration of a virus particle 
created and made available by the CDC in the US. But how can your charity illustrate
your coronavirus information updates or appeals with related images that are different?

 

 

 

Having run our popular Graphic Traffic course for several years for charities, and
needing to use images to illustrate our coronavirus fundraising news, we’ve been
keeping an eye out for such content to share with you.
