It is clear that large companies, due to their capacity, are getting involved in the fight against Coronavirus. Each one contributes and takes the measures it can and, probably, one of the most powerful is the collaboration between Apple and Google.
But this is not just one of the measures that Apple has taken We already commented on its involvement in avoiding unreliable apps about the Coronavirus in the App Store and the launch of its own app and platform And now we know more measures that it has taken to try to deal with COVID-19
These two measurements are related to Apple Maps, the maps app from Apple and the truth is that the two measurements can be quite useful to share the Coronavirus pandemic that is present all over the world.
Both measures are related to Apple Maps
The first of these is the inclusion in Apple Maps of those places where tests are carried out to detect the Coronavirus This It is because, in many countries, the test is being carried out on the street from the car. That is why the app will show not only the he alth centers, but all those locations where the tests are carried out.

In addition to this measure, Apple is also sharing information about how is being used Maps In this way we can see, thanks to some graphs, the reduction in driving, walking and transit traffic. These data show how searches and use of Maps in countries and cities decreased since January 13, 2020.

Both measures seem very successful to us. And the truth is that both can be useful for all citizens, both to know where to go in case of having symptoms, and to have access to reliable usage data.
