The coronavirus has wrecked havoc in everyone's life and all most all the countries are struggling to put a stop on the deadly virus. The numbers are increasing everyday and a number of researchers and scientists are on the lookout for a vaccine that can curb the spread of COVID-19.  However, amidst the rising number of cases what spells more trouble for the general public is lack of sufficient information and latest developments about the virus. A number of theories are floating around on the web about the virus which are often half baked and which ultimately leads to false information in the human mind.To ensure that people get access to the right kind of information a 9th grade student Aarav Badani has developed a website called FixCovid.org.

The website acts as a one-stop destination for all COVID-19 related information. Right from coronavirus vaccines, treatments, and all other vital information can be found here.  Speaking about the website, the young boy says,  "I created this website because after searching for a couple of hours, I could not find any websites that was  a one-stop destination for the treatments and the latest news, I also could not find any website which had all the upcoming vaccines in development (other than the one on the WHO website). Hopefully, this website helps you find the information you need without having to search for multiple sources. "  The other notable feature of the website is that it is available in all the major languages.
