India is about to enter Phase - III of the COVID-19 Outbreak with Maharashtra having the highest number of cases so far. To curb the effects and to reduce the burden on the medical facilities we have created a Telegram Bot : C-AWARE for the Nation.

The features of the bot are:

• Self Diagnosis to check users and predict possible infection to reduce burden on hospitals and medical staff.
• Location based official helpline numbers and contacts accessible from any State.
• Latest News from verified sources about coronavirus to make everyone aware without creating panic.
• Cases, Deaths, Recoveries of 5 Worst Hit and Least Hit countries around the world that change dynamically as new cases are reported from data published by the World Health Organization (WHO).
• India Stats about COVID-19 that report the total cases, deaths, recoveries live happening in India from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
• Hospital capacities including number of rural and urban hospitals and the number of beds in them based on location of the user so that people can estimate the medical capability of the Nation.

12 hour a day coding for 3 days straight.

It runs! Besides the data provided dynamically updates and is consistent with the official data released by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India.
