The research team from India and Germany have noticed that the relative humidity in the air prevents the spread of the virus. The virus is less prevalent in humid places, especially compared to a dry house with AC. For this, the team reached this conclusion based on the evaluation of about 10 international researches. The team relied on investigations into new corona viruses such as H1N1 and MRS Cove. According to the report, moisture plays an important role in the spread of Covid-12 through air inside buildings.

Ahmedabad. 9 November 2020, Monday Whenever we go to Playstore to install a new app in a smartphone, we find many apps. Most people are confused about which apps to install from the unparalleled apps with almost identical features. Now the confusion will probably lessen. A new feature is coming to Playstore. Now when we find an app, in the listing of that app, there is a button to compare that app with other apps like it. Such a feature is now being seen in some well-known music players app. Using this feature we can know which app is easier to use and which app is possible to use offline.
