Both the superheroes will now work together to create more awareness among the people about reducing the risk of infection. Both the heroes will collaborate to prevent an infodemic, while simultaneously developing a sense of humanity, sympathy and concern among the citizens of both countries for frontline healthcare workers. The background: In the story, Priya, after befriending a little girl named Meena, shows her the sacrifices made by frontline workers to combat Covid-19, and how important it is to follow the guidelines provided by them.
