Google indicated that it is currently creating a coronavirus website. The tech giant announced the website through a number of tweets, and it will be collaborating with the United States government to build the website. Google also stated that this project will be undertaken as an independent effort from its Verily project, or other efforts related to the virus outbreak.
The website will provide viewers with accurate information related to the virus, which could help to alleviate some of the panic and misinformation that has occurred in recent weeks.
Additionally, Google has become one of the most trusted platforms where users find information, so a dedicated virus website would have a high degree of credibility among the general public.
