Coronavirus is a tsunami heading towards the millions of people and truck drivers who have nothing to protect themselves from its devastating impacts while they are serving us during this critical time. India has over 10 million truck drivers and many of them are distributing COVID-19 vaccines, essential lifesaving medical supplies, and household goods.
