Twins born in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have been named Covid and Corona.
The boy and girl were born in the city of Raipur in central India.
Their parents hope their names will serve as a reminder of the hardships they overcame to bring the kids into this world.
Speaking to the Press Trust of India, mother Preeti Verma said the journey to the hospital was a difficult one as several roads leading to their home and the hospital was closed due to India's lockdown. The babies were also born by caesarean due to unrelated complications.
