Stay informed on the coronavirus pandemic with Bing and Microsoft News

In an effort to help you stay up-to-date on the COVID-19 pandemic, Bing has released features that help you discover comprehensive information on case locations, infection prevention, and more.

Simply search for “covid19”, “coronavirus information”, or a related term, and you’ll find a tally of the cases in your geographic region as well as an up-to-date summary of global cases. This information is aggregated across multiple sources such as the Center for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, and other authoritative sources. As the situation is changing rapidly, we’re refreshing the data multiple times per day, and show a timestamp for when we published the latest available data.

You can also click the “additional info” tab for links to reliable sources on relevant topics such as prevention, symptoms, and treatment. These views are currently live in the US and we plan to make them available in more countries soon.

You can also click on the expand button on the map or go to bing.com/covid to see a full-page view of active cases, recovered cases, and deaths by country overlaid onto an interactive map of the world. We are working on providing a more granular view of data; currently, we have cases on a per-state view in the US and plan to have regional data for other countries soon. This page is available globally and on mobile via the Bing app and the mobile website.
