PRINCE GEORGE- On Wednesday, over 3,500 people lost their lives in India because of COVID-19, the highest single-day death toll due to the virus in Canada was 222 back in May 2020.

A local student and member of the CNC Student Union, Guntas Thapar says she worries about her family overseas, knowing many in her family have tested positive for the virus.

“When you open social media, Instagram or Facebook all you hear is shortage of oxygen and people are dying in hospitals, so you get worried about your family members,” says Thapar.
