Google has added a new feature to its location app Google Maps. The coronavirus epidemic has led to a lock-down in India. Because of this, many people are facing the problem of living and eating. Google has added a new feature to Maps to help these people. This new feature will help the people more and more in tandem with the state and central government's authority.
