As of 2020, and because of the COVID-19 epidemic and its effect on businesses, Google has introduced an additional feature to help business owners keep their customers informed and safe regarding all COVID-19 matters. This includes COVID-19 Post Types, which are like standard post types like News, Events and Offers, but have Coronavirus icons. This allows the business owner to write information about any COVID-19 updates, such as cleaning processes policies, click and collect updates, news.   Another COVID-19 additional feature was introduced to Google Business Profile for business owners, including national health & safety attributes that allow you to display info for customers about specific COVID related measures the business does or requires customers to take, such as:   • Delivery • Curbside pickup • Take away sale • Mandatory temperature measurement • Mandatory mask • Online bookings • Appointment required • Mask required • Staff require disinfecting surfaces between visits. • Staff wear masks • Temperature check required
