Microsoft's Bing Launches an Interactive COVID-19 Map.



Bing has made an effort to launch an interactive map for COVID-19 in order to enable people to be up-to-date about the spread of COVID-19 by utilizing a tracking map.

People can use the map to know more about the confirmed cases per country, including currently active cases, recovered cases, and fatal cases. Information about the US cases is broken down state by state.


Clicking on an individual country or state will bring to the respective news stories and videos. The time of the stories varies in each region with some less than an hour old and others about two days old and the updates about the news are as fast as a news break.

Data provided by the map is being pulled from the following sources:


  • World Health Organization (WHO)
  • US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
  • European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC)
  • Wikipedia


Bing now joins with Google in an effort to keep people updated about the coronavirus outbreak. Google is also a move to create an informational website, but it's uncertain about when it will launch or what it will contain.
