Due to the rising COVID-19 cases in India, apps with useful emergency resources are in dire need. However, various developers have now started to make open-source apps that compile all of the verified information available on the internet and update it regularly. If you’re in need of oxygen, beds at hospitals, food service for the sick or want to help those in need; these are some of the apps that you need to have on your smartphone right now:

The CovidResource app provides useful information such as the availability of beds at hospitals, medicines, food, oxygen and plasma donation. The app provides information for many states and cities across the nation. You can visit the app from any browser on your phone by clicking on this link: https://covidresource.glideapp.io/

This may not sound normal but speaking from personal experience, there are plenty of influencers, groups and activists who are providing information for emergency services, oxygen supply and medicine stock at Chemists regularly. You can find verified useful information on platforms such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook groups. On Facebook, we recommend joining groups such as HumankindGlobal where people are ready to help each other with whatever they can.
