Google-owned GPS app Waze has announced that Covid-19-related information and critical locations like emergency food distribution locations have been added to its maps.

While Waze, thanks to its community of users and map editors, already displays the latest road and traffic information submitted in real time by people using the application, the maps will now also display relevant Covid-19-oriented info and “critical” locations to make it “easier for drivers to navigate their essential journeys”.
