Ask HN: Did HN ban Covid-19 posts from the front page?

I have seen many COVID-19 related posts in new getting traction since yesterday but it seems that all of them are de-prioritized before they reach the front page. Did they announce this?



I believe moderators try to restrict the number of posts on the same topic on the front page. Which is a good thing IMHO, we don't want the front page full of Corvid-19 posts. Better to restrict them to new information.
