Still unexplained
The hunt for the origins of Covid-19 has for the past four years been a tangled web of politics, power struggles, and international finger-pointing.
Amid the ongoing COVID-19 scare, India all-rounder Hardik Pandya on Sunday acknowledged the efforts of the medical staff and security personnel who are “fighting the virus selflessly”.
“Salute to all the medical staff and other emergency personnel who are fighting the virus selflessly. We are forever indebted to you. You are the real Heroes,” wrote Hardik on Twitter.
