We hope you stay safe and healthy during these strange times, and if you're looking for one more place to get information about the novel coronavirus, Google just provided one. Go to google.com/covid19 for a wealth of information about COVID-19, including symptoms, treatments, and how to avoid getting it in the first place. There are also links to other reliable resources on the web. If you live in the United States, you can also check local resources by state: tell Google what region you live in to get information tailored to your specific region. "Since the beginning of the year, interest in COVID-19 research has been growing around the world," said Google's Emily Moxley. "Right now, disease is the most important topic people search for in the world, surpassing even some of the most common and consistent queries we see in research."
More to come
You can also use the site to see the latest research trends for the coronavirus and to see the number of reported cases around the world on a world map. There are even links to resources to help you work from home. At the same time, Google is publishing more information to accompany coronavirus search results, so whenever you make a query related to the COVID-19 virus or disease, you'll also see some of the same official resources. Google says the site will be switched to international visitors in the near future, although the US version can be accessed by anyone, and that more information and resources will be added over time. This is an unprecedented situation we find ourselves in and we still don't know exactly how it will all turn out, but if you need the facts about the novel coronavirus and COVID-19, Google has now got you covered.
