Yandex has launched a new service that will be useful to everyone who is trying to maintain social distance in the context of the ongoing spread of the new coronavirus.
To date, the disease has affected almost 2 million people worldwide. More than 120 thousand infected people have died. More than 21 thousand cases of infection have been recorded in Russia; about 170 people, unfortunately, passed away.
The new Yandex service has been launched on the Yandex.Maps platform. It will help you find out how many people are in the grocery store. This will allow you to assess how free the checkout is now.
Yandex receives up-to-date data on the workload of supermarkets in real time from partners. Stores capture traffic using internal systems, such as sensors or an electronic queue. This information is displayed in Yandex.Maps and Yandex.Navigator. There are three alert levels: "no queue", "small queue" and "large queue".
Now 169 Azbuka Vkusa supermarkets and 55 Perekrestok supermarkets in Moscow and St. Petersburg are connected to the project, and Alfa-Bank with 400 branches throughout Russia will soon join.
Yandex.Maps invites everyone who wants to help customers choose the best time to visit to join the project: it can be pharmacies, various socially significant organizations, etc. You can leave a request .
