We now have some folks seeing the health and safety attributes that businesses have been able to add to their Google My Business listings back over a months ago, on the front end of Google's search results Google Maps results.
Lluc Berrio Penycate posted some screen shots of this on Twitter - I did try replicating this but I do not see it myself. Lluc is in Spain, not sure if that is why he sees it?
You can see, it shows under the "About" tab, under a section called "Health and safety." In there there are sections for:
- Enhanced cleaning
- Personal protection
- Physical distancing
- Minimised contact
- Increased food safety
Craig Harkins noticed this on desktop a week ago or so and I missed it:
More detail on Health & Safety attributes. The link in green goes to the brand level cleaning standards page with more details. (To @IHG in this example.) pic.twitter.com/sbp4uc0HNx

It is very cool to see this show up on the frontend of Google search after all this time collecting the data.
It does look like this is a different form than the simple Google My Business attributes:
OK! We are actually having issues with some of our clients. It will not save the attributes. I’m going to post it in the GMB Forum. pic.twitter.com/6DVD2d4sXj
