Waze adds some new nifty features every now and then, some of which it does as a response to national crises. In January, it introduced a new Crisis Response feature after the Taal Volcano eruption to point all willing donors in the right direction.

In light of this, the Waze Philippines community—not Waze Philippines itself—has released a statement clarifying that it will not be mapping such locations for a number of reasons.

“First of all, things are rapidly evolving, so people should instead monitor official announcements and act accordingly,” the statement reads. “Second, most of us are supposed to stay home anyway. The community would rather support the government’s direction to observe social distancing and stay home. That’s the only navigation advice most of us need at present.”
