Google Is 'Helping To Develop' Website For Coronavirus Testing, Trump Says

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday declared a national emergency over the fast-spreading coronavirus. In addition to providing about $50 billion in federal aid to fight the disease and temporarily suspending interest on student loans, Trump said Google is "helping to develop" a website that will help users determine if testing is needed and where the nearest testing location is. Trump said the search engine giant has 1,700 engineers at work to build the website. "Users will be directed to fill out a questionnaire, including detailing any symptoms, and if deemed necessary they will be directed to a nearby drive-thru test site that the U.S. government is preparing to roll out across the country," reports Business Insider. It's not yet clear when this website will launch, but Trump said Google has already "made tremendous progress."
