(Reuters) - Alphabet Inc's Google said on Saturday it launched a
United States-focused website with information about coronavirus
guidance and testing, as the country works on slowing the spread
of the highly contagious virus.
The site (google.com/covid19), which consists of resources and
links focused on the potentially deadly respiratory illness
COVID-19, will be available in more languages and countries in
coming days, Google said in a blog post. https://bit.ly/2wq4f27
Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai said in a blog post last
Sunday that the search giant was partnering with the U.S.
government to create a website by March 16.
However, the launch was delayed as local and national guidance
changed significantly from Sunday to Monday and the company had
said it would roll out the website later in the week.
