Google launches its coronavirus information website

Google finally has a simple website to share information about COVID-19. The company will also provide you with enhanced information cards to offer more info for those who look for terms related to the coronavirus. Information tabs are available for things like symptoms, prevention, and global statistics. Google emphasizes that it's getting information from "authoritative" sources such as the World Health Organization and the US's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The site is currently only available in English, but The Verge quotes a Google spokesperson who said that the website will support Spanish soon. The website also has videos in ASL. It also shows the information on Google's relief efforts as well as some resources to help you cope with this extraordinary situation we find ourselves in.
