For a few days practically citizens of all countries of the world are at home without being able to go out on the street. The culprit is a virus called COVID-19 or commonly coronavirus, which has forced governments to take drastic measures such as closing borders or isolating their citizens.
This means that, except in very specific cases, such as going to the pharmacy or supermarket, we cannot go out. No more walks with friends, a beer in the square or a trip around the world. At least for a few weeks. Fortunately, we live in the 21st century and the Internet offers us many services. We won't be able to go out on the street but thanks to Google we will be able to visit up to 30 sites that are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Will you join us?
As if you were there: see the World Heritage sites thanks to Google
