Abstract

Covid-19 was declared as a pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020, creating chaos among all the countries around the world. Millions of people have lost their lives with this outbreak. It’s been a year and still countries like India are fighting this global pandemic. Under such circumstances, having the right information about the cases and facilities around would be of great use. In this context, we aim to develop a chatbot for the people of Bangalore to gain the necessary information about the situation. The proposed application includes statistics about the covid cases in Karnataka, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Help-Line Number for specific zones, Home Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Service Providers, Online Doctor consultation, Oxygen Providers Information and availability of vaccine slots. In this way, our bot can help people gain better understanding of current condition and take informed decisions.
