Introduction 🧙‍♂️✨

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. 🌌📜

Casting the Enchantment Spell 🌐✨

Step 1: Gather the Magical Ingredients

Feel the magic – clone the repository using:

git clone https://github.com/shreyamalogi/Pandemic-Alert.git

Make sure your computer understands the language of Python. If not, seek help from someone more experienced.
Acquire the enchanted ingredients named requests, beautifulsoup4, and plyer. Add them with the following command:
```
pip install requests beautifulsoup4 plyer
```

Step 2: Unleash the Spell

Find a quiet space on your computer where magic flows freely.
Open the terminal, your gateway to the mystical realm.
Cast the spell to run the enchantment script:
```
python script_name.py
```
Watch as the enchantment unfolds, and your computer whispers COVID-19 updates to you!

Bonus Spellbook (Optional)

If you want to adjust the timing between updates, open the script and find the spell:

time.sleep(30)  # Adjust the interval (in seconds) as needed
