Rohit is extremely concerned about the safety of his daughter and wonders who will guarantee that she won’t catch infection once the school opens. “I am worried about what will be the arrangements for prevention of coronavirus in the school when my daughter starts going there for examinations, especially when I see the record new figures in Delhi every day. I am worried about my daughter no matter what the government decides. The government should declare this one year zero period as there is nothing bigger than life,” the anxious father said.
