For example, you could ask Alexa “what do I do if I think I have COVID-19?” or “what do I do if I think I have coronavirus?” and the interface will interpret these commands and respond by asking a number of questions. These will include questions on how the is feeling, what symptoms they might be experiencing, and places they might have traveled to recently that could put them at a higher risk of infection. Once done, Alexa will look to provide the with some additional information, resources, and guidance on what to do next.
As there are multiple tools now available to help check coronavirus symptoms, which one you should use doesn't matter too much. This is especially considering all of the major ones are drawing on the same information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Therefore, the questions asked and the guidance given should not be any different from one tool to the next. The increased number of ways just make it easier for more people to have access to useful coronavirus information and tools, on their platform of their choosing.
