This pandemic has been unlike anything seen during our lifetimes. As we remained indoors and physically distanced ourselves from the world this year, did you realize we are surrounded by people who are constantly helping us, contributing silently to our needs? It could be your cook, neighbour, vegetable vendor, family, partner, friends who video chat from miles away, sanitation workers who keep your area clean, your doctor, the medical shop owner, food delivery person — or even your pet!

As we move ahead, changed by a time that the entire world will remember for witnessing the fragility of human life irrespective of gender, colour, class, religious and political beliefs, we present #COVIDHeroes - to recognise, appreciate the efforts, and share the stories of these real-life heroes.
