Health worker Kavita Sherawat, 30, shows a photograph of her son Parakhshit before proceeding to take samples to test for COVID-19, in New Delhi, India, Thursday, March 18, 2021. Despite dutifully wearing masks and always washing her hands, Sherawat got infected, as did her husband, parents and in-laws. While doctors and nurses were cheered as heroes during the lockdown, people avoided her, fearing infection. She tested thousands of sick and gasping people as they arrived at hospitals, not knowing if the gear she wore was adequately protecting her. “That fear changes you as a person. You start valuing your life more”, she said. (Photo by Manish Swarup/AP Photo)
