While the government tracks the COVID-19 cases within the country and aims to provide all possible resources to curb the pandemic, these apps have become highly important to keep ourselves updated about the ‘new normal’. Coronavirus has thrust an enormous spanner across several industries and negatively smashed their operations.
Here is a list of the 5 most important apps that have become very consequential these days.

This app provides users with relevant and real-time local updates. This also allows users to record and share videos on major happenings in their vicinity. Users can even access locations and timings of essential services like grocery stores, hospitals, and pharmacy-shops.
A few local politicians have also created their verified accounts on the app to debunk rumours related to COVID-19 to prevent chaos in the community.

Simply Local
This is a community social network that permits the screening of information to targeted communities. However the information is visible to only those who are in vicinity of the targeted locations.
This functions like a local FM station though the broadcasting boundaries can be restricted. This portal is the best way to share ground-level important information in the face of pandemic.
