Abstract :
Here, an online social awareness against global recent pandemic outbreak due to novel Corona virus has been proposed. The cameo of this new coronavirus had affected almost all the countries in the world. Coronavirus is a non-living and air-borne fat substance and it is activated once inside the human body. The Information Communication Technology (ICT) is one of the emergent tools to create societal based awareness. In this paper, the area taken under study was based on our country?s highly affected by nCOVID19 i.e. New Delhi from the time interval between March 01, 2020 to April 12, 2020. Exponential growth has been seen at the number of Covid affected persons in India. The only option to us is to be quarantined safely at home and maintaining social distances to others. Here, we have proposed to spread online awareness modules during all online transactions. Different safety modules to combat novel coronavirus were designed in English and different vernaculars (region based). Online transactions may include E-Banking operations, Online grocery, E-Commerce, Online payments, Telemedicine, etc. Different statistical aspects had been done in this study.
