Sehwag Foundation feeds 51,000 COVID-19 patients in New Delhi
The second wave of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has caused a medical emergency-like situation in India. The rapid increase in the daily tally of the positive coronavirus cases has left the system exposed and vulnerable. In testing times, many people have come forward to help fellow citizens by providing help in whatever way they can.
The cricket fraternity is also not behind as many players including the likes of captain Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Rishabh Pant, Jaydev Unadkat and many more have shown solidarity with the people of India. Former Indian opening batsman Virender Sehwag is also doing his bit to help India fight the deadly virus via his foundation, Virender Sehwag Foundation.
On April 25, the official Twitter handle of the Virender Sehwag Foundation announced that they will be providing healthy home-cooked food to all the COVID-19 affected families in Delhi. Also, the foundation claimed that they were in the process of procuring oxygen concentrators.
