Microsoft rolled out a new live dashboard to track the coronavirus outbreak




Coronavirus (COVID-19) Definition:

In December 2019, a new coronavirus appeared in Wuhan, China. It has since infected thousands across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic, which refers to how far it’s spread.
The new coronavirus causes a disease called COVID-19, with symptoms such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. It can be deadly, particularly in people over the age of 60 or with underlying health conditions.
In response, US tech companies have canceled events and ramped up efforts to avoid spreading misinformation.


Microsoft dashboard:

As the world grapples with the continuous spread of COVID-19, more companies are making tools to keep people informed about this pandemic. Today, Microsoft rolled out a new live dashboard to track the coronavirus outbreak.

 The company said it’s aggregating data for the dashboard from trusted sources like the World Health Organization (WHO), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).

 The dashboard might look like plenty of other trackers out there, but I appreciate just how mobile-friendly it is. Other dashboards have been quite informative, but they are mostly meant for desktop — so it’s quite hard to track these updates on your phone.


Plus, if you tap on a particular country, Microsoft’s dashboard shows localized information, including the latest news stories and videos. This is quite handy for when you want to know if the local government has issued new directives for public health and safety.

Google site:

Google is also reportedly building a site to inform people about the coronavirus outbreak. However, that site aims to be more like an information center for people living in the US, rather than a dashboard.
