India is currently dealing with a devastating second Covid-19 wave that has swept through the nation, crushing the country's health infrastructure and overburdening frontline medical workers. 

More than three lakh coronaviruses are found every day. Every effort is being made to prevent the spread of corona infection. The total number of corona victims in the country has reached two crore. Millions of people have died due to the virus.

Meanwhile, many leaders have also been infected with the corona. They have been undergoing treatment at the hospital.

Meanwhile, a photo of a minister from Mizoram is going viral on social media. The minister, who has been infected with corona, set an example after mopping the floors of a hospital where he is being treated for COVID-19 along with his wife and son. 

Mizoram's power and electricity department minister R Lalzirliana was een mopping the floor of covid ward in a hospital despite being a corona positive.

Lalzirliana contracted corona on May 11. He was admitted to the hospital for treatment. His wife is also infected with corona. Previously they were both in home isolation. However, due to low oxygen level, Lalzirliana was admitted to the hospital.

"My motive in mopping the floors was not to embarrass the nurses or doctors but I want to educate and lead others by setting an example," said Lalzirliana.

He said that he had called the sweeper to clean his messy room. When the sweeper could not come, he decided to mop the floors himself."Sweeping, mopping the floors or performing household chores are no new jobs to me. I used to do at home and other places when it is required to do so," he said.
