How AI Is Helping to Battle COVID-19?

The world has come to a standstill with the near-exponential escalation of coronavirus pandemic. According to the World Health Organization, Coronavirus disease (COVID -19) is an infectious disease caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2). First reported in China on 31 December 2019, the dread of the Covid-19 has spread across the globe quickly. As of now, the total number of Covid 19 infections has crossed one million globally, with 51,000 fatalities and 2,10,000 recoveries. 

As the numbers keep on rising exponentially, world leaders have shut down their countries and are asking their citizens to stay at home. In fact, all the major cities have entered into hibernation as the public spaces remain deserted. Classrooms, landmarks, bars, shops, clubs, and restaurants remain closed while train tracks, airports, and roads appear eerily empty.
