Odisha Family Loses Three Members To COVID-19 In 22 Days

Bhawanipatna: A family of Seaulbundh village in Kalahandi district lost three of its male members to the deadly Coronavirus within 22 days.

It all began when the family’s elder son, 41-year-old school teacher Akura Sahu tested positive for the virus in mid-April and was put under home isolation.  On April 22, he was shifted to a COVID facility in Visakhapatnam after his condition deteriorated but succumbed mid-way, The New Indian Express (TNIE) reported.

In the days that followed, his 65-year-old father and 38-year-old brother also started showing symptoms. While his brother passed away 11 days later, Sahu’s symptomatic father succumbed on May 11, leaving behind three women and four minors, the report added.

Now, the wife of the deceased school teacher, who is an Anganwadi worker, is all set to join her duty to overcome the financial crisis.
