Google News To Soon Highlight Regional COVID-19 Information From Local Publishers


Google announced today that it is testing adding local COVID-19 news content to a special section in its News app. The new test which is currently happening only in the US, is in partnership with local news publishers with the goal of helping consumers understand the impact of the pandemic on their community
The new section will highlight important updates including community reopening timelines as well as updates around business and school openings. It will also display information on the local healthcare infrastructure, public transportation, and events. Google News users will also see updates on how you can help families in need
Local publishers that have signed up for the pilot include The Raleigh News & Observer, NOLA.com, CBS Chicago, Oregon Live, and Gothamist. This feature is rolling out in more than 21 areas in the U.S., with plans to expand coverage across the country and Canada
