Google search results will shortly stand up for a new type of a new schema markup designed for special announcements linked to COVID-19.
The schema mark up can be added now but isn’t yet visible on the search result page. It will be supporting the schema markup in the near future.
COVID-19 Structured data for special statements can be used by any organization announcing urgent statements that “affect schedules and other facets of routine life.”
Some instances of special announcements include:
• Announcement of a shelter-in-place mandate
• Closure notice for a school or public transportation
• Quarantine guidelines
• Travel limits or restrictions
• Announcement of an event transitioning from off to online, or cancellation
• Announcement of changed hours and shop restrictions
• The infection spread statistics and maps
Since Google has been in under process of officially supporting this markup, it’s not yet recognized what a COVID-19 specific announcement will look like in search results.
