Talk about a close call! An elderly COVID-19 victim in India woke up right before she was about to be burned alive after her family thought she had died from the virus.
According to reports, Shakuntala Gaikwad, 76, tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this month and was self-isolating at her home.
However, she started showing major symptoms due to her age on May 10, so her family took her to Silver Jubilee Hospital in Baramati.
