As part of the structured data specific to COVID-19 announcements that we covered the other day, Google has launched a new beta tool for posting an announcement to your search results listing using Google Search Console.

Hat tip to @tldrMarketing:

Here is a screen shot of the tool that you can find over here:

This is for a limited set of sites, where Google is providing additional support in search for these official health organizations. Google wrote

Limitations of the tool: This is a beta version. We’re currently developing the tool, and you may not see results in Google Search right away.
The tool requires that announcements expire within 1 month of posting, so this method is only for short-lived announcements.
If you don’t set an expiration date, your announcement will default to expire 7 days from the time the announcement was posted.
The tool is focused on health and government organizations; it doesn’t support news articles.
