New Delhi, April 27, 2020: Microsoft has announced new features on the Bing COVID-19 Tracker to help Indians stay up to date with the latest on the coronavirus pandemic.
These include the integration of the Apollo Hospitals bot for self-assessment and a hub for telemedicine support from reputed healthcare organizations. The Tracker will also offer content in nine Indian languages to provide people across the country access to critical information related to the pandemic in preferred language.
The Bing COVID-19 Tracker serves as a single, credible hub of news and official government information.
