Google Maps adds a COVID-19 layer to track coronavirus trends by region - XDA Developers

Earlier this year, Google Maps added new safety features to help people navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, Google is adding a layer that will display COVID-19 outbreak data.

According to Google, the COVID-19 layer will show information for all 220 countries and territories that Google Maps supports, along with state or province, county, and city-level data where available.

The COVID-19 layer in Google Maps lets users see outbreak information by state and county.

Google said the new COVID-19 layer will display a seven-day average of new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people for the area of the map you’re looking at.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 earlier this year, Google has been active in using its resources to help people track SARS-CoV-2.

Google said the new COVID-19 layer in Google Maps will roll out worldwide on Android and iOS beginning this week?
