Google Maps to Show Locations of COVID19 Food, Night Shelters in India

"To date, across 30 cities, people can now find these locations on Google Maps, Search and Google Assistant," the company said in a statement.

Users can search for 'Food shelters in <city name>' or 'Night shelters in <city name>' in any of these Google products.

Over the coming weeks, the service will also be made available in Hindi and other Indian languages and additional shelters in more cities across the country will be added, Google said.

"As the COVID-29 situation develops, we are making a concerted effort to build solutions that help people during these times of need," Google India Senior Program Manager Anal Ghosh was quoted as saying by TOI.

"With the help of volunteers, NGOs, and traffic authorities, we hope to convey this important information to the affected people, many of whom may not have access to a smartphone or mobile device during this time," he added.
