Did the dominance buisness authorities such as Apple, Google contribute to decrease spreading the Covid Virus? If so please mention in which ways they did so? (I m seeking information for a college research)

Not sure what you are trying to ask: are you asking about whether they got in house policies in place which aim to prevent the actual spread of the virus between employees, such as working from home, wearing masks in office, social distancing, providing hand sanitizer?
Or are you asking whether they are contributing towards science, the search for medications and vaccines? If it's the latter, have a look at foldingathome.org at the bottom of the webpage you see those hard- and software companies who officially sponsor the project. |

It appears that Amazon certainly didn't.

That website gives nothing but 'sorry' errors, no matter what article is selected on the front page.
