Indian Couple Names Twin Babies Corona And Covid

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought countless sufferings in the world but that has not prevented a couple in Chhattisgarh from naming their newborn twins as ‘Corona’ and ‘Covid’.

The names, they said, would remind them about all the hardships they conquered amid the lockdown, ahead of a successful delivery on the intervening night of March 26-27 at a government hospital in Raipur.

“I was blessed with the twins – a boy and a girl – in the early hours on March 27. We have named them Covid (boy) and Corona (girl) for now,” Preeti Verma, the 27-old mother of the newborns, told news agency PTI.

“The delivery happened after facing several difficulties and therefore, my husband and I wanted to make the day memorable. Indeed, the virus is dangerous and life-threatening but its outbreak made people focus on sanitation, hygiene and inculcate other good habits. Thus, we thought about these names,” she said, giving reasons for their unusual decision.
