A group of three B. Tech final year students of IIT (ISM) have developed a web portal that focuses on helping Covid patients and their families across the country in locating treatment facilities and other resources.

The portal accessible on the link https://cr21.netlify.app/ has provisions to host verified pan India as well as state-wide Covid resources like information on government and private covid treatment facilities, oxygen and plasma availability and Intensive Care Unit facilities.

Information on resources will be added by both the site administrators and the users. Users will have the options to add new resources or suggest changes to the existing ones. Their suggestions would be taken into account and then reviewed by the volunteers. If the resources are found valid and helpful, then it will be added to the main website, available to all the users.

Mayank Roy, one of the creators of portal said, “We started working on the portal on May 3 and launched it yesterday and witnessing around 15 visitors on it after every 30 minutes.”

“The basic idea behind launching the portal is to create a platform where everyone can search the Covid related facilities as the patients and relatives seeking oxygen, plasma, vacant Covid beds etc have to post their appeal on various social media platforms and like, Facebook, Whatsapp or even have to make calls to the concerned officials,” said Roy.

“The more the people get involved in this, the better this app works” said Roy and added that for any queries, you can reach out to us at covidresourcesr21@gmail.com.

“We will be gradually adding more volunteers for updating the information and users can also send their information to them which would be posted after verification” said Roy.

State-wide and district wise information on Covid facilities have been posted on the portal and the readers can get their respective state and district section to find the facilities.
