For a few days, practically citizens of all countries in the world are at home without being able to go outside. The culprit is a virus called COVID-19 or commonly coronavirus, which has forced governments to take drastic measures such as closing borders or isolating their citizens.
This means that except in very specific cases, such as going to the pharmacy or the supermarket, we cannot go outside. No more taking a walk with friends, having a beer in the square or going on a trip to see the world. At least for a few weeks. Luckily we live in the XXI century and the internet offers us many facilities. We won't be able to go outside but thanks to Google we can visit up to 30 Unesco World Heritage sites. Will you join us?
As if you were there: view the places that are World Heritage thanks to Google
As surely many of you already know, Google has to its credit a multitude of apps and services. Many of them are quite popular like Snapseed, the photo editor that by the way the other day received its first update after more than a year as well as many other tools to telework during these days.
But it also has other leisure applications like Google Earth, an app that allows us to visit all the places on the planet without having to get up from our chair or sofa.
