Siri (Apple) is being very responsible about the Coronavirus

I frequently use Siri for simple questions (when I can't be bothered to open up a search engine and type in my question).

On occasions where I have asked questions about the Coronavirus - eg what are the symptoms? in which countries has Coronavirus been reported? - Siri has been very responsible and just said "You can find detailed information about the Wuhan novel coronavirus at gov.uk". Not the usual list of google search results!

I wonder whether Apple did this of their own volition or after discussion with UK government / health authorities?

That's quite concerning really. Smacks of censorship.

I don't have the Android non Siri functionality so don't know whether that churns out internet results or references to WHO / UK gov etc websites
