Celebrating Diwali during Covid-19 

Recently as we are still currently facing the pandemic, and the rise of deaths because of Covid-19, many states in India requested a ban on using Fireworks during Diwali and minimizing interaction as much as possible ahead of this event, such measures were necessary to ensure that covid-19 cases do not surge after the festival is done.
