"All great changes are preceded by chaos," someone wisely said and posted this on the Internet.
I am sure you have more than enough information about the situation in the world and India right now. However, over the last few days, I have realized that it is extremely important to take a breather and give your brain a break from the barrage of information.
As directed by our Prime Minister, the next 21 days will be extremely crucial for all of us for many reasons and the most important one being- living with ourselves and coming out full of positive energy.
Today, I will keep it short and only highlight some basic but critical information that you must know and pass on to as many people as possible.
Here's Your Daily Dose of Covid-19 Basics

Italy is among the worst hit by the crisis but you'd be glad to know that 11 out of 14 Covid-19 patients from Italy have been discharged.
