Google's Edit Verification algorithm.

Hello dear Fellow Local Guides,

I am a level 7 local guide from a place called palapilly, Meloor, Chalakudy in Thrissur district of kerala state, India. I have recently added some new shops and local roads to the map. But the status is pending for approval. Can anyone help me to know why this is taking so long. How does the roads added by me gets approved ? How does google verify my edits on map ? Is there anyone to contact in Google regarding this issue ?

EDIT: it seems we are on the same wave, @MoniDi

@Joseph95 , your edit may take time to be approved, especially during the Covid-19 emergency, as Google is prioritizing the “essentials” businesses. Please read Temporary product changes in Google Maps
