All companies are turning to try to combat the COVID-19, or new Coronavirus. A virus that is turning everything upside down and therefore the interest of everyone so that this ends as soon as possible. Apple just added another grain of sand by adding the COVID-19 testing center option to Apple Maps. After the jump we will tell you how this new anti-Coronavirus search will work.
As we say, Apple Maps is preparing to collect all the information from the centers that will carry out these precious tests for the Coronavirus, or COVID-19. For it have launched a special website accessible from this link and in which health providers, laboratories, and other health-related businesses can register as COVID-19 testing centersIn principle, it is a service designed for the United States, but the truth is that centers in other countries may also be able to register. It should also be taken into account that in countries like Spain this should be done at the government level but it is true that there are private centers that, ethically or not, are offering these tests.
A workflow very similar to the one we find when registering a business in Apple Maps, but in this case it will cause the registered business appears as a COVID-19 testing center next to a red balloon with a medical symbol. We will also see the name of the business, the medical insurance associated with it, the telephone number, the website, and the type of testing they perform. Apple also asks those interested to make it clear whether a medical prescription is necessary to take the test at that center or not.. A novelty that is in the process of inserting data, these centers are not yet shown in Apple Maps, but as you can see on the special website, Apple has already started the process of inserting data.
