lswcapIt is becoming increasingly important to be able to know in advance what kind of restrictions on public transportation and destinations when moving under the Corona 19 disaster. To make this new routine, Google has announced two new features in Google Maps for Android and iOS.
One is to search for routes that may be affected by Corona 19 and display a warning about public transportation in the area. If the route is interrupted or it is mandatory to wear a mask, it will be notified before departure. This information is the collection and reflection of reliable data from local governments, state or federal governments, and websites. Regions subject to this warning feature are Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, France, India, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom and the United States.
In addition, warnings are displayed when going to medical facilities and corona19 testing facilities, along with a message to ensure that eligibility requirements are met, along with a caution sign to avoid burdening the local healthcare system. This function is available in Indonesia, Israel, the Philippines, Korea, and the United States for medical facilities and in the United States for testing facilities.
In addition, it has strengthened the function of predicting how crowded public transportation will be. This feature was introduced in 2019, but at the time it was said to be based on the past congestion situation. In this update, you can provide feedback by clicking on the route to check the transfer information and then sending an experience about how long it will take. These new features will be reflected over the next few weeks. If possible, it may be possible to actively use trains or buses to avoid crowded trains with a social distance and time lag.
