Mumbai residents can view coronavirus containment zones in Google Maps
Google on Thursday launched a new feature in the Covid-19 layer on
Maps that displays the demarcation of containment zones in Mumbai.
Google said it is working closely with the Brihanmumbai Municipal
Corporation (BMC) for sourcing this information and will update this data
regularly.
As
people and businesses emerge from the lockdown, access to clear information
about Covid-19 containment zones as recommended by the authorities in Mumbai will enable
users to make better decisions as they move around the city.
"This
new feature strengthens our commitment towards working closely with the
government to disseminate helpful, authoritative, and relevant information for
people during the pandemic," said a company spokesperson.
Maharashtra's coronavirus tally
on Wednesday reached 14,80,489 with 14,578 fresh cases coming to light,
according to state health officials.
With
355 new fatalities being reported, the death toll in the state reached 39,072.
