Apple books new coronavirus domain name after Google collaboration

Apple and Google are launching a comprehensive solution that includes application programming interfaces

Apple has booked a domain name called AppleCoronavirus.com, after the iPhone maker and Google last week announced a joint effort to enable the use of Bluetooth to help agencies reduce the spread of coronavirus.

The record's domain information lists Apple Inc. as the registrant organisation.

The registrar is CSC Corporate Domains, a firm that protects domain names for large corporations, and is used by Apple for its domain name registrations, reports Mac Rumors.

"The new record indicates that Apple took possession of the domain name on Friday". The domain does not currently point to an active website.
