Unfortunately, by the end of 2019, the world has been faced with a pandemic virus called COVID-19 or Coronavirus. This virus continues distributing these days from person to person and there is no vaccine for it till now. As a matter of fact, the human being has not been prepared for such a condition. The best effective way to prevent being affected by COVID-19 is to be quarantined and try to cut the distribution chain. Furthermore, a lot of activities can be done remotely from home. So, we decide to introduce some software and platform in order to make remote working easier. Now, it is time that all people around the world be in a team. Indeed, it is our social responsibility and we want to defeat this disaster together.
