Hello Lupa,
Thanks for your email.
You're right to point out that the site that CANTV blocked access to in Venezuela is hosted by Juan Guaido (I also had VEsinFiltro's report in mind).
I agree that the motivation for blocking in this case was probably more political (rather than intending to censor COVID-19 information per se).
Nonetheless, we think it's interesting to track and measure all these various cases, and hope you'll participate in the testing.
Best,
Maria.

Hello friends,
Ensuring a free and open internet during emergencies is important, but access to COVID-19 information has already been censored in China & Venezuela.
About Venezuela, and as I can see [1], they are not blocking COVID-19 site, they are blocking a Guaido's paralell "government" site (then, is another discussion).
Guaidó and his team, setup a COVID-19 URL that redirects to their political page with some information their consider relevant.
So is not a COVID site: sometimes details are very important.
Thanks.
