New Delhi, March 2
It’s a day most Delhiites would like to erase from their memories but March 1, 2020, the day the city reported its first case of COVID-19, is seared into Rohit Datta’s memory.
There’s no erase button for the businessman, the National Capital’s first patient.
From facing stigma in the initial days after the diagnosis to becoming “Googleable” and a popular subject on quizzing platforms now, Datta says life has come a full circle.
“As I was the first case, initially there was lot of fear and guilt too. I would consider myself as the carrier of the virus as I had just returned from Italy after a work-related visit and found myself positioned in a scenario where the unpredictability of this new virus fuelled more fear and apprehensions among people,” he told PTI.
