It has also inspired a wave of creative names (or lack thereof). Like this father in New Delhi, India, who is so inspired by the Indian government’s coronavirus initiatives, that he named his child Sanitiser.

Omveer, Santiser’s father explained during an interview on India Today Television that sanitisers have become a household essential, and that is why he named the baby after this commodity.

The Indian government also registered the birth of Baby Lockdown on the 6th of April. This comes after the birth of Corona and Covid who were also born recently.
