Sumeet is glad that his wife and son are in Jammu as cases are low there

Sumeet Vyas is feeling much better, though the first few days of testing positive for Covid-19 were tough for him as he had fever and body ache. He is glad that his wife Ekta Kaul and son Ved are in Jammu, and are okay, as things are better there.

He shares that Covid affected him like it did most people, as we are all home-bound currently. “When we should have, we didn’t take the pandemic seriously, so no point in pointing fingers now. All of us had lapses at some or the other level. Some were huge, while others were not. Now, we are bearing the brunt of it. At least, now we should learn our lesson, stay indoors and try to break the chain. This strain of Covid is air borne and is more infectious,” he says.

The actor admits this year feels like last year with rising cases, lockdowns and stalled shoots. Moreover, the rising number of celebrities testing positive too has concerned him. He opines, “I believe in the theory that 80 percent of the world population will have to get Covid for us to get through this and for the virus to lose its potency. People who are fitter, younger, and able to fight it, will do and unfortunately, the sad truth is that some people will lose their lives.
