Google delays its planned rollout of an informational coronavirus website

Google says it will delay the rollout of an informational coronavirus website until later this week, when it can provide users with additional information that is not yet available.

The informational website had been targeted for a launch late Monday, CEO Sundar Pichai said in a blog post over the weekend. But on Monday evening, Google told CNN Business it will not launch the site until it can provide users with additional information that is not yet available.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention is developing its own screening tool, according to Google, that the search giant plans to link to from its informational website. The CDC tool is expected to feature a questionnaire that Americans can use to help determine if they need medical attention, which could include testing. Meanwhile, Google is also waiting for more information about local testing sites, which remains in flux as US testing capacity develops.
