    covid_status={

        'total' : p['data']['summary']['total'],

        'city' : city.name,

        'discharged' :p['data']['regional']['discharged'],

        'confirmedCases' : p['data']['regional']['confirmedCasesIndian'],

Hi!
The error refers to these lines:

From the json returned by the API, p['data']['regional'] returns a Python list of dictionaries, and not a dictionary.

"regional": [
     {
          ....
     },

Hence the error - the program expects a list index or slice but we gave them a dictionary key (string) to work with instead.

Hope that helped!
