Happy news

Please give them first to frontline workers, elderly and vulnerable citizens. It is a disgrace that the Srilankan embassador for Rusdia already got vaccinated. Well now I think of it: vaccinated by Sputnik V, better not give that to anyone

Good News. Thank you India for helping the neighbour during the hour of need.
