19 Instagram Accounts To Follow For Exhaustive COVID-19 Resources

For almost a week now India has been recording over two lakh active COVID-19 cases per day. Our healthcare is collapsing and we are already running out of COVID-19 vaccines. Unfortunately, the situation is way worse than it was last year in April and things only seem to be going downhill from here. 

It is scary, to say the least. I mean, didn’t all of us leave for our hometowns last year thinking that it would be over in three to four months? To make it worse, all kinds of theories are being circulated right now. Yesterday a friend who is constantly travelling for work told me that this is the new normal, that from now on we are going to live with the virus. Add to it all the heartbreaking stories of people losing their loved ones owing to lack of medical facilities right now. 

Pretty sure that you must be finding all of this COVID-19 talk and the constant updates triggering. However, amid it all, there are some individuals who have taken it upon themselves to fight the good fight. Armed with their social media accounts, they are busy amplifying the voices of those who need help amid the crisis. Some of them have lost their own people to the virus and still continue to constantly post updates about the pandemic. From the availability of hospital beds, oxygen cylinders to plasma donors, they are constantly posting it all, so as to help someone like you and me. Here is a list of all such accounts that you should be following right now:
