What is it
Some Google My Business profiles have new attributes options for Health & Safety. Of course, these are directly related to Covid-19 pandemic and are available in multiple countries and languages.
The new attribute options that I came across are:
- Appointment required
- Mask required
- Staff get temperature checks
- Staff wear masks
- Temperature check required
They are appearing now on Google Search and Google Maps Listings on both desktop and mobile (14 Sept 2020)
