Bing’s COVID-19 tracker filters data, news and video by region - NiSystemsBlog

‘Coronavirus’ results pages have become ad-free resource hubs on Bing, Google and other search engines.

Bing has launched a COVID-19 tracker that displays the number of confirmed cases worldwide. The data is broken down into active, recovered and fatal cases, and can be filtered by geographic region, The Next Web first reported on Monday.

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.

Selecting a region will also show users recent news and video pertinent to the situation in that region.

Bing and other search engines have transformed their results pages into non-commercialized resource hubs for people looking for “coronavirus” information.

You can access the new dashboard here.
