On June 3, as Gopinath. R celebrates the first birthday of his daughter, Dhanvika, he recalled the events of this day last year. He was overwhelmed with gratitude towards Federation of Sunnambu Kolathur Residents Welfare Associations in Kovilambakkam. Last year, when COVID-19 lockdown came into effect in March, Gopinath, a delivery staff with a reputed food delivery company, experienced a sizeable cut in his daily income. He and his expectant wife were living on a shoestring budget. When his wife went into labour on June 3, she tested positive for COVID-19. Hence, she was not allowed admission in government maternity hospital in Egmore and had to be taken to a government hospital in Chenglepet which allows admission for expectant mothers who are positive for COVID-19.
