COVID 19 has been spreading at a very rapid pace. Social distancing is the need of the hour to fight COVID19, however, there are important things like groceries and medicines you might need on a daily basis for which you may need to step out from your homes.
As most of our daily groceries can be delivered to our homes online, similar can be also done for medical supplies which can also be delivered through apps. When someone thinks of purchasing medicines from apps you have to keep a few things in mind.
