3 Tech Stocks in the News Today


The COVID-19 pandemic has brought drastic changes in the lives of everyone. At the start of the year, no one would have imagined the situation we are in at present. Lockdowns, social gathering, norms against religious congregations are things that were unheard before.

To prevent the spread of the virus, Australia, like many countries, was put under lockdown. However, the country has been able to curb the spread and is getting back on its feet, albeit slowly. The government has started taking initiatives to revive the economy and bring people back on track and in a virus-free environment.

In Australia, the number of cases has gone significantly down. However, still, there are COVID-19 cases in the country. In such a situation, there is a need to address the way people work post the COVID-19 global lockdown.
