Traveling during the pandemic can Obsession Archivesbe tough.
That's why the latest version of Google Maps for Android and iOS has several features that might help travelers get around safely.

These alerts are rolling out in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, France, India, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, and the U.S., and Google says they're coming to more countries "soon."
