Joining the drive to educate people about the deadly COVID-19, a sweet shop in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal has come up with a unique idea of selling coronavirus-themed sweets to uplift the spirit of locals.<br /><br />The incident took place on April 8 in the city of Kolkata.<br /><br />According to reports, Hindustan Sweets used their daily operational time of four hours to come up with the plan of selling the special ‘Corona Sandesh' (a Sandesh is a sweetmeat).<br /><br />As per the regional authorities, sweet shops are allowed to operate for four hours a day, after the country's government imposed a 21-day lockdown to contain the spread of the virus, thus forcing several shops and businesses to remain shut.<br /><br />Sweet makers at the establishment have tweaked their best-selling 'Sandesh'. The red sweetmeat bears a striking resemblance to the shape of the virus. <br /><br />While the new treat has become very popular with sweet lovers, the shop owner has decided to sell it for free to every customer who visits their premises.
