Google on Friday said its sister company Verily is working with the federal government to build a tool to help people find coronavirus testing.
Verily, the life sciences arm of Google parent company Alphabet, said the tool will first be introduced in the San Francisco Bay Area, where Google is based.
"We are developing a tool to help triage individuals for Covid-19 testing. Verily is in the early stages of development, and planning to roll testing out in the Bay Area, with the hope of expanding more broadly over time," Google tweeted. "We appreciate the support of government officials and industry partners and thank the Google engineers who have volunteered to be part of this effort."
