Many stories of the COVID 19 patients, survivors and others have been heard a lot. Among all, one such person is Dr. Sachin Nayak who is working at JP Hospital in Bhopal. The doctor has been living in his car in order to prevent passing on the virus to anyone else.  Doctor Nayak is working for the COVID 19 patients in the hospital and is not going home after finishing his work at the hospital. 

Sachin has made his car his home and is living in his car these days after work. He has moved inside his car to protect his wife and child from contracting the disease. After work, Dr. Nayak lives in his car which he has parked near the hospital and has stocked up his daily use of necessary items in his car. In his spare time, Sachin reads books and speaks to his family through a phone or a video call. Dr. Sachin Nayak said to India Today, "When coronavirus cases started being reporting in Bhopal, I was not so afraid but over the last few days we have seen positive cases in large numbers so I have decided to stay in the car."
