It was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei, China, and has resulted in an ongoing pandemic. On 5 October, the WHO said that one in ten people around the world (around 800 million) may have been infected with COVID–19. The disease spreads most often when people are physically close. There are no proven vaccines or specific treatments for COVID-19 yet, though several are in development.
Common symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath or breathing difficulties, and loss of smell and taste. While most people have mild symptoms, some people develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) possibly precipitated by cytokine storm, multi-organ failure, septic shock, and blood clots. The incubation period may range from one to fourteen days.
Recommended measures to prevent infection include frequent hand washing, social distancing, quarantine, covering coughs and sneezes, and keeping unwashed hands away from the face. The use of face masks or cloth face coverings has been recommended by health officials in public settings to minimise the risk of transmissions, with some authorities requiring their use in certain settings, such as on public transport and in shops.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Common symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath or breathing difficulties, and loss of smell and taste. While most people have mild symptoms, some people develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) possibly precipitated by cytokine storm, multi-organ failure, septic shock, and blood clots.

The ongoing pandemic had a lot of impacts on human life. Due to the lockdown in the entire country, people are having more time these days and hence are into social media. Social media has become a platform wherein people share all their thoughts and emotions. Due to the social distancing norms and other preventive measures, people are connecting each other through this platform. This gives us the opportunity to analyse the overall mental reaction of the people to this pandemic. In this project, we collected data from twitter having state wise tweets related to COVID-19 pandemic and have manually set the emotion conveyed by each tweet in it. This is then used for training the model and we output the average emotion conveyed by each state. This can be useful in understanding the psychological impact the COVID-19 had on the people, state-wise; helping the governments to take necessary actions accordingly. The output as well as COVID-19 guidelines and data are then represented in a website.
