Making Love Alarm like app for Covid-19 to maintain safe distance.
Netflix show - Love Alarm
The story of a young girl caught between two guys and technology.

WHO has given protective measures against the new corona virus:
Wash your hands frequently
Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.
Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.
Maintain social distancing
Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
Why?
When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from
their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close,
you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19
virus if the person coughing has the disease.
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.You can visit WHO advice page to protect from coronavirus for detailed information.
