Add Places for temporary outdoor pandemic places?

Google Maps contribution stories

Should we create Places for Corona places that will only last as long as the pandemic?

One phenomenon that is common in Israel, and likely elsewhere, is outdoor locations for prayers by people that are not going to synagogues during the pandemic but want to pray in groups (quorums) outdoors. These groups meet on sidewalks, in parks or in yards. Many have bren in those fixed outdoor locations for months, and likely will for months more unfortunately. But after the pandemic they will dissolve.

Should these be “places” on Google Maps? Is Maps one of the places that this phenomenon will be accessed/searched during the pandemic? Or are they too ephemeral?

Anything similar in other countries during the pandemic?

Hi @Krulwich

Part of your question can be answered by checking the list of categories. If there is a perfect and specific category we can add the place. If you need to stretch and be creative when choosing the category, then don’t add the place.

Maybe others can elaborate with respect to the covid issue.

Cheers
