Couple Name Their Twins ‘Corona’ And ‘Covid’ In India by EBMedia: 10:52am On Apr 03, 2020
The pandemic caused by a new virus has brought the world to its knees, but that has not deterred a couple in Chhattisgarh to name their newborn twins as 'Corona' and 'Covid'.

The two words evoke fear and devastation in minds of others, but for the Raipur-based couple, they symbolise triumph over hardships. The twins - a boy and a girl - were born during the ongoing novel coronavirus-enforced nationwide lockdown.

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.

However, the couple said they may change their decision later and rename their kids.

"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 me 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.

"When the hospital staff also started calling the babies as Corona and Covid, we finally decided to name them after the pandemic," she said.

"On late night of March 26, I suddenly experienced severe labour pain and somehow my husband arranged an ambulance operated under 102 Mahtari Express service. As no vehicular movement was allowed on roads due to the lockdown, we were stopped by police at various places but they let us go after noticing my condition," Verma said.

"I was wondering what would happen in the hospital as it was midnight, but fortunately doctors and other staff were very cooperative," she said.

"Our relatives, who wanted to reach the hospital, could not make it as bus and train services were stopped due to the lockdown," Verma, who also has a two-year-old daughter, said.

I recall when Goodluck Jonathan became president, almost all the citizens named their kids his beautiful name. Since Buhari ascended, only an amajiri has been named after him and his name was changed afterwards cos it was affecting the child.

Ignoramus. Why giving those names to the new set of twins? These children didn't know anything now, if they grew up they can kill themselves o after knowing the casualty the Virus had caused.
