Apple has updated its native Maps app with more helpful information designed to assist with travel while mitigating the spread of COVID-19.
Apple Maps on iPhone, iPad, and Mac will now show COVID-19 health measure information for airports when searched via the app, either through a link to the airport’s own COVID-19 advisory page, or directly on the in-app location card itself.
Through a partnership with the Airports Council International to provide details on COVID-19 safety guidelines in effect at over 300 airports worldwide. The type of information includes requirements around COVID-19 testing, mask usage, screening procedures, and any quarantine measures in effect and generally hopes to help make the process of traveling while the global pandemic continues easier, and as vaccination programs and other country, efforts are set to prompt a global travel recovery.
