The world is dealing with what is one of the most harmful and hazardous pandemics of all time- Coronavirus. And to combat the same, all the medical practitioners across the globe are fighting day and night and trying their best to save the patients that have been tested positive. To support and cheer them, the Prime Minister asked all of us to come together and clap and cheer for their bravery and laud the unsung heroes of the world.
