Greetings, everyone! I'm @shreyamalogi, and I've created the COVID-19 Enchantment Notifier. This project is your magical companion to stay updated on the ever-changing world of COVID-19. Imagine your computer becoming a magical oracle that whispers the latest COVID-19 numbers to keep you informed. It's like casting a spell to bring real-time updates to your desktop. πŸŒŒπŸ“œ

    pip install requests beautifulsoup4 plyer

Step 2: Unleash the Spell

  • Find a quiet space on your computer where magic flows freely.
