In the clip posted on August 22, a young man lying on a hospital bed can be seen having great difficulty in breathing. The video\u2019s caption identifies him as Saurab Kumar, who had given the B.Ed entrance examination in Uttar Pradesh. Twitter user @Ithinkpranay shared the video claiming that Kumar had tested positive for COVID-19 after giving the exam and was now in critical condition. The video had been viewed more than 19,000 times and garnered 1,900 retweets at the time of writing.
