'90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way': What is a protection card? Sumit trolled for believing it prevents Covid-19

'What the hell? Virus protection card?? That’s not a thing that is a scam, Sumit, and Jenny,' a user commented

The coronavirus pandemic shook the world and put everyone under lockdown. Amid this, Sumit Singh and Jenny Slatten have been staying in India in the hope that they could get married soon. Jenny had been counting days until Sumit's divorce could be finalized, and they could move on with their lives. Just when she thought their lives were moving in a positive direction, Covid-19 restrictions were imposed in the country that put a pause on their marriage plans. Sumit admitted he was worried about himself and Jenny as Covid-19 was slowly affecting a lot of people. Sumit further added that his health condition and Jenny's age put them under the risk category for Covid-19. 

Following this, in the latest episode on November 15, Sumit revealed an unusual card that reportedly protects people from Covid-19. Sumit and Jenny were set to go out to meet a lawyer, and he brought a protection card for them. He explained that the "sanitizing card" helps to keep the virus away for at least a radius of one meter. He further added that the cards are supposed to be worn around the neck. Jenny was shocked to hear this and thought it was worth a try. While speaking to the camera, Jenny admitted she hoped the sanitizers, masks, and all the other precautions would work. As for the protection card, Jenny admitted she wasn't sure but wanted to try it anyway. 

Viewers of the show were also shocked to hear about the protection card, and many took to social media to open up about their views on the same. "This protection card is basically to let folks know Jenny is an elder and more susceptible to #COVID19 Sumit isn’t trying to offend her," read one comment. "What the hell? Virus protection card?? That’s not a thing that is a scam, Sumit, and Jenny," wrote another. "A protection card that keeps Covid away? Yeah, you got scammed," wrote another. "Protection Card. Good thing they don’t have to worry about Sumit using selecting protection for intercourse," said another. 

'90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way' airs on Sundays at 8 pm ET on TLC.
