Microsoft has just released a free COVID-19 tracker for desktops and laptops on the machine searchs Bing. The tracker gives you basic information about the number of cases and more that we describe below, in a clean UI.
The COVID-19 tracker was developed by Microsoft and is available online at bing.com/covid . It presents a world map along with many other information, such as total confirmed cases, active cases, recovered cases and fatalities.
You can also see statistics data by country and zoom in to see additional information for a specific region.
Similar services are already available online, but Microsoft is trying to make this tracker a central hub monitoringof the spread of the coronavirus, including news and videos about the infection.
Microsoft says it gets data from the CDC, WHO, ECDC and Wikipedia and always displays the latest information - at the time of writing, for example, the map was last updated 11 minutes ago.
The new tracker also works on mobile so you have access to all data, from each of your devices.
Microsoft is one of the companies affected by COVID-19, as it has decided to cancel several technology events, such as BUILD developer conference.
