“#Google Maps will now display number of COVID-19 cases in an area<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

To help you with that, Google Maps is rolling out new information related to COVID-19 in a particular area. The app<\/a> will\u00a0now\u00a0display the total number of cases and deaths till now and a 7-day trend indicating if the numbers are going up or down. Plus, you\u2019ll also get to access local guidelines, restrictions, and information related to testing centers.<\/p>\n

This will help you make a decision if you want to cancel or postpone your trip. In August, the company rolled out a feature that lets you find hotels allowing free cancelation during the pandemic. Later in September, Google introduced\u00a0a COVID-19 layer in Maps to assist people in finding containment zones.<\/p>\n

Google Maps is also rolling out its crowdedness feature worldwide to indicate congestion on a public transport ride. This information is based on real-time input from app users onboard a train or a bus. It\u2019ll help you avoid a particular ride and catch the next one to maintain social<\/a> distancing.<\/p>\n
