• A Google Maps feature that allows anyone to create custom maps of their local region has seen a surge in usage this year.
• Some authorities and regular users rely on the My Maps functionality to create custom maps that can be helpful during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
• The feature is available to any Google Maps user to use for free.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Google Maps is one of the various tools you should have in your arsenal of anti-coronavirus apps. You might not be driving as much as you were before this modern plague, but Google’s app can still be very helpful. The Maps app now includes COVID-19 warnings when you search for doctors, and it highlights restaurants that deliver — the app can even be used to order food from participating restaurants. On top of that, Google Maps lets business owners update their listings to make sure their customers have the most accurate information about their shops.

These are features that Google added or upgraded in Maps in the past few weeks, but it’s not just Google that’s using Maps to help users during the pandemic. Maps users can create their own custom Google Maps for all sorts of instances, and it turns out that plenty of people have been using this functionality to come up with relevant maps that can help people during the health crisis.

• Nothing on Amazon right now is more popular than face masks, and it just so happens that the site’s best-selling face masks are back in stock right now if you hurry.
• Coming in at a close second, however, are webcams — and most webcam models have been sold out on Amazon’s site for about a month now.
• Several webcam models are finally starting to arrive back in stock right now, though prices are still typically elevated since webcams continue to be in such high demand.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Among our readers, there is absolutely no question that face masks make up the top-selling category of product right now — and it just so happens that Amazon’s best-selling face masks are back in stock today, in case you’ve been waiting. It’s pretty easy to understand why they’re so popular since the CDC recommends that people wear this type of face mask for protection anytime they leave their homes. They’re not as effective as medical-grade face masks, of course, but they’re more than good enough to protect you and those around you if you also practice social distancing and good hygiene.

Apart from face masks, the second-most popular type of product people want right now is a webcam. Most nonessential businesses are still closed at this point, and if they’re smart they’ll probably be closed until at least sometime in June. That means you’re in store for a whole lot of video conferencing in the weeks and potentially months to come. Even if you don’t use video for work or school, there’s a good chance you use them to chat with family and friends. Tired of holding up your phone the whole time? Don’t worry, because webcams are finally starting to arrive back in stock at Amazon.

Head over to Amazon’s webcam page to scroll around and check them out, but there are a few in particular that are shipping out soon. While prices aren’t quite as gouged as they have been in recent weeks, you still might have to pay a premium if you want one soon. If your company is covering the cost, that doesn’t matter anyway. If not, it’s up to you to decide how much you need one.

The Logitech C270 Webcam is one of the most popular models out there, which makes sense considering how big Logitech is in this space. This model is ready to ship right now, and there’s also a generic version for much less money if you don’t need a Logi logo.

Logitech C270 Webcam – Black – USB 2.0: $131.99

Webcam with Microphone Desktop or Laptop Webcam, HD 720p Widescreen for Video Calling and Recor…: $79.99

The Yvelines 1080P Webcam is another good option that offers even better 1080p resolution. It’s also less expensive than the two aforementioned webcam models, and it’s ready to ship out in the next few days.

YVELINES 1080P Webcam with Microphone, HD PC Webcam Laptop Plug and Play USB Webcam Streaming C…: $59.99

Finally, the Weicha 1080P HD Webcam is a Full HD model that’s even more affordable than any of the cameras listed above. It’s out of stock right now, but you can still order and it’ll ship as soon as it’s back in a few days.

Does time still exist in coronavirus quarantine? Much of the country has been sheltering in place for more than a month now, and the responsible people among us know that we’ve got a long way to go. Some states are already talking about reopening nonessential businesses, which on the surface seems like a fine idea considering much of the economy has ground to a halt. When massive second waves of COVID-19 infections sweep across those states and they’re forced to shut everything down once again for an even longer period of time, they’ll realize the decision was undoubtedly a terrible one.

Most of us will indeed be stuck at home for quite a while to come, which means we have to figure out new ways to keep ourselves occupied. Needless to say, that often involves watching TV or streaming movies and shows on services like Netflix. If you’re wondering which new shows everyone is into right now, look no further because you’ll find the top 10 series people are watching this week right here.

• There are rumors that iOS 14 may introduce widgets to the iPhone home screen.

• Apple will introduce iOS 14 at WWDC in June. WWDC this year will be an online-only affair due to the coronavirus.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

With WWDC 2020 now a little more than a month away, we still haven’t heard a whole a lot about what iOS 14 is going to bring to the table. Sure, we’ve seen tidbits about new app discovery tools, but we haven’t exactly seen anything particularly exciting to look forward to just yet.

Now this isn’t to say iOS 14 will be entirely uninteresting. What’s more likely is that Apple has simply done a better job of keeping upcoming features under wraps compared to previous years. With that said, we’ve seen a few iOS 14 concept designs over the past few months and, truthfully, we wouldn’t mind if Apple took a few design cues from some of them.

• Face masks have been flying off the virtual store shelves at Amazon since the CDC recommends that we all wear them, but there’s something else that helps fight coronavirus that everyone should have.
• We’re talking about hand sanitizer, of course, which is still impossible to find in any online stores or even in supermarkets and other local shops.
• Somehow, someway, there is actually hand sanitizer in stock right now over at Amazon and new orders will be delivered next week… if you hurry.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Head over to the CDC’s coronavirus page and you’ll see some simple instructions that are clear as day. Anytime you leave the house for any reason, you need to wear a face mask. It doesn’t have to be a medical-grade N95 mask, of course, and it shouldn’t be since they’re still in such short supply among healthcare workers and first responders. Simple cloth face coverings are more than good enough to do the job when combined with strict social distancing and good hygiene.

Some people use bandanas or they make their own masks using DIY instructions shared online, but Amazon’s best-selling face masks are actually back in stock right now and they only cost $0.80 apiece. There’s no telling how much longer they’ll stay in stock, of course, so definitely order a box or three now while you still can. You know what’s even rarer to see on Amazon these days than face masks though? Hand sanitizer, but it’s somehow back in stock right now and ready to ship. Order now and it’ll be delivered as soon as next week!

Hurry and you can pick up a 5-pack of BushKlawz 75% Alcohol Instant Hand Sanitizer for $24.99, which is actually a pretty decent price these days. This sanitizer came from out of nowhere and it’s definitely going to sell out fast, so hurry or you’ll miss this rare opportunity.

• UK’s National Health Service (NHS) is going forward with an iPhone and Android app for coronavirus contact tracing.
• The government has refused to use the Apple-Google solution to track the potential contacts of a COVID-19 patient.
• The Apple-Google app has strong built-in privacy provisions and doesn’t store user data on a central server, as the UK government plans to do.
• Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Knowing where new COVID-19 patients got the novel coronavirus from will be crucial for easing social distancing measures and reopening the economy. That also includes warning all the contacts of a patient they may have been exposed to the virus. And it’s why New Zealand’s announcement that the country doesn’t have coronavirus community spreading is so important. In theory, New Zealand might be in a place where any new COVID-19 patient could be traced back to the person that infected them. In practice, things might be more difficult, and that’s because of the way the virus operates. SARS-CoV-2 is highly infectious, and symptoms may appear only after 14 days from infection if they show up at all. Many people are asymptomatic, but they are still contagious.

That’s why the only way contact tracing can be done with some sort of success is with the help of technology. Apple and Google have devised a Bluetooth-based system that works on iPhone and Android to help authorities track contacts. The COVID-19 API the two giants have developed is also more private than alternatives, but some governments aren’t happy with that. France, Germany, and the UK have voiced concerns about the Apple-Google app, but Germany then decided to ditch its home-grown app in favor of the Apple-Google solution. A response from France on the matter isn’t clear, but the UK is going forward with its own app.
