谷歌周六表示,他们正在与美国政府合作开发一个全国性的网站,帮助美国人解答有关冠状病毒症状、危险因素和检测的问题。
Google said on Saturday that it is working with the US government to develop a nationwide website that would help Americans with questions about coronavirus symptoms, risk factors and testing.
“We are fully aligned and continue to work with the U.S. government to contain the spread of COVID-19, inform citizens, and protect the health of our communities,” Google said in a statement, Reuters reports.
On Friday, US President Donald Trump thanked Google for developing a website that he said would help people determine whether they need a coronavirus test, saying that 1,700 engineers were working on it.
That prompted the internet giant to respond that, in fact, a life sciences division, Verily, was in the early stages of developing a tool to help triage Americans who may need testing for the coronavirus and that it would be tested in the Bay Area and expanded over time.
The cooperation with the Trump administration comes as Google faces antitrust investigations by federal and state agencies over its search and digital advertising businesses, among others, Reuters noted.
