Fellow Hindu priest and astrologer Acharya Umesh had also predicted that things would improve from May onwards, specifically from yesterday.

“Historically, Rahu has been responsible for creating all the havoc that comes with a pandemic. Thankfully, on May 20, Rahu will move away from its constellation and things should ease a bit,” he said.

“This will be a good time to make a wish as it has the power of fulfilling it. Needless to say, everyone is praying for coronavirus to end. And it will soon.”
