Healthcare

  • WHO declares COVID-19 disease to be a pandemic

Week 2 showed less positive news (less than 35.5%) than the preceding and succeeding week because that week had rampant reports on corona-virus reaching India. Subsequently the government was able to handle it and in comparison to other countries we have shown a positive attitude towards containing the virus.
|Logistics

  • Product segment Reverse Logistics Market
  • Reverse Logistics Market estimate
  • Third-Party Logistics Market Growth
  • Amazon giving up on non-Prime members with latest shipping delays
  • Amazon India halts order placement of low-priority items, focus on delivering essential products
  • Coronavirus lockdown hits medicine supply, chemists body seeks govt help

Here we witness certain terms which are Reverse Logistics Growth/estimate/market which has been focussed amid COVID 19, a technique to combat the impending epidemic. Moreover shipping delays have also been highlighted in this section
Retail

  • Covid-19 is crippling Indian restaurants and retailers—and it’s still early days

The trend somewhat increased in between week4 and week 5 ( more than 7%) but dropped at 6 % last week. This increment was due to some new releases by Apple and Samsung in the Indian market. But the percentage of positive polarity is somehow less than other domains because of lesser people gathering in public.
Wizikey has also recently launched the news desk from credible news sources and compiled it into one place. The latest data on Wizikey’s newly launched dashboard states that almost 51% of the news created in the last one month was around coronavirus, it also states that almost 29% of news created in the last one month has words related to coronavirus in the headline.
