Kunal said that his cousin, the daughter of his aunt, was not allowed inside the hospital and she would sit in her car and pray for her mother from the car park.

Her daughter (my cousin sister) would go to the hospital, sit in her car in the car park & pray for her mother. As she wasn’t allowed inside the hospital. Said she felt close to her as she couldn’t see her. This is how harsh Covid is. This isn’t the way to go.
