Google launched the Corona Virus News Center to get reliable coverage in one place, and to fight against misinformation and news that spreads on various platforms on the Internet.
Although there is no lack of coverage of information about the Coronavirus, it can be troublesome when you seek to find the facts among these great online noise. To help people find information from reliable sources, the Covid-19 Information Center service came from Google.
The center publishes news from reliable global and local sources to help readers access the latest virus-related instructions, and in the future the user can specify the areas he wants to know information about, in particular.
For example, if you live in the United States, you can search for local resources by state as well: Tell Google where you live to get information tailored to your specific area.
It can also highlight news by topics such as economy, health and travel, and confirm the results of local news most relevant to you, including tweets from local authorities so as to avoid getting caught in the fake news or misleading information.
Google says it is also working on a dedicated fact-checking feature to dispel the wrong information surrounding the virus, but this feature is still under test.
Corona Virus Control Center is available on all devices, whether operating system "iOS" or Android or even on the web, in more than 20 countries, and will reach more places in the coming weeks.

"Disease is currently the largest topic people search in the world, bypassing even some of the most inquiries Common and consistent that we see in the search. "
