Safeture unveils global lockdown map
The interactive tool can be used to keep track of the range of restrictions in place in each country
The free-of-charge map includes information about area lockdowns, quarantine measures, flight restrictions, school closures, and links to more information. The data is continuously monitored and updated by Safeture analysis team, a critical step since each day – and the firm notes that there are enough updates to fill a 1,000-page book.
As UNWTO releases a troubling forecast of the global tourism economy for 2020, Safeture insists that its latest tool will play a part in helping the economy to recover faster by giving people access to information that will enable them to make informed travel decisions.
“Safeture has access to a ton of critical data, so it makes sense for us to package it together and make it free to the world,” said Magnus Hultman, CEO of Safeture. “Countries are slowly beginning to ease restrictions, so it is critical businesses, and families have accurate information so they can safely plan for their next trips. It was important for us to provide this interactive map for free and make the coding available for embedding on other sites to help the world get back on its feet and open up for business.”
The online map tool, titled Open for Business, is available here.
