As Covid-19 affects all sections of the society, Google is focussed on the on-going crisis in the Asia Pacific on prioritising three things: contributing to the immediate health response, helping people learn and work from home, and supporting the small businesses most affected. The company said in a statement on 5th MAy 2020 that in India, it is helping female internet "saathis" (or trainers) share authoritative health advice with their networks in rural villages. "Our team in India has helped local governments share the location of night and food shelters on Google Maps," said Scott Beaumont President, Asia Pacific. Google started showing the locations of Covid-19 test centres on Google Maps, Search, and Assistant in Indonesia, before extending the feature to other countries around the world, including India, Korea, and the Philippines.
