For a disease that forbids touch or any close contact whatsoever, it is important to get creative at saying thank you to Doctors, Nurses, lab attendants, consultants and all caregivers who have made huge sacrifices at the outbreak of a pandemic ravaging the world. Corona Virus (Covid-19) has already infected more than 500,000 persons leading to an overstretched health system and personnel. Many of these health workers have not slept in weeks, some have not seen their spouses and newly born kids in some cases. Some healthcare workers have even paid the ultimate price of sacrificing their lives. Here are how people are showing their gratitude across the world.
