Google has launched its anticipated COVID-19 information website and a new search experience for coronavirus queries.

Announced a week ago, Google has officially launched a dedicated website for coronavirus information and resources.

The website is primarily dedicated to education, prevention, and local resources. With this site, people will have easy access to state-based information, safety tips, and search trends related to COVID-19.

The website contains the following sections:

Health information
Safety & prevention tips
Data & insights (incl. top searches & search interest over time)
Resources to help
Links to donate to relief efforts
Latest news from Google’s blog

Google’s coronavirus website is launching today in the US, with expanded availability in more languages and countries in the coming days. The website will be continuously updated as new information becomes available.

New Search Experience

Along with the launch of a dedicated website, Google has introduced a whole new COVID-19 search experience. It contains authoritative information from health authorities, along with new data and visualizations.

The new search experience organizes results to help people navigate to important information and resources. This includes links to pages from health authorities and a carousel of health authorities’ Twitter accounts and the accounts of local civic organizations.

Searchers will also see a feature dedicated to surfacing common questions about COVID-19, with snippets sourced from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Google is helping people track the latest information about the spread of COVID-19 with statistics and a map similar to the one Bing launched days ago.
