Went for Covid test with my wife at a government hospital, found a very long queue but nevertheless joined the queue, One guy also later came to join the queue behind us, few minutes later a nurse who was ensuring social distance on a queue made a stop where the guy was standing, I didn’t hear what they discussed but few minutes later, they guy was called in for a swab, he later emerged from the Tent with his Covid results, the nurse he earlier spoke to stepped aside to meet him, I saw the guy stretch his left hand into his back pocket, pulled out his wallet, removed a few notes stretched his hand as if he was greeting the nurse and handed over the notes. The guy went, left us still standing. We didn’t have to ask what had happened, we all clearly understood the language he had spoken.
