    Dunno whether it can be called ' Welcome Respite'.!
    For according to study and reports it is been said that he COVID 19 has less chances of survival in extreme heat ! What we were considering as a Bane has indeed turned into a Boon for us !
    Look at the Havoc this Virus has created in cold countries for it can thrive there !
    Pray God for kind mercies...
    Hope to see the end of this calamity by May end therefore.
