Practicing social distancing is something you should have been doing for several weeks now, to help your community “flatten the curve.” Staying away from others is the best weapon against the spread of the novel coronavirus. That means you have keep trips out of your house to a minimum and only reserve them for essential shopping runs and your pets. But even if you’re staying indoors most of the time, Google Maps is an app that can still come in handy right now. The app will tell you whether the businesses and stores around you are still open and advise you on schedule changes. Google Maps will also display COVID-19 warnings that tell you to call your doctor or hospital before going to the emergency room. The app lets you order food from restaurants that are still open for delivery at this time as well, and Google just updated the app to highlight all the places around you that offer deliveries or takeout.
