Miss Universe 2020-21: Miss Mexico Andrea Meza crowned as the winner, Miss India Adline Castelino finishes third

Mexico’s Andrea Meza was crowned Miss Universe on Monday. Miss Mexico bested 73 other contestants in the 69th edition of the pageant held Monday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

Brazil’s Julia Gama is the first runner-up, Peru’s Janick Maceta is the second runner-up while India’s Adline Castelino and Dominican Republic’s Kimberly Perez are third runner-up and fourth runner-up, respectively,

During the question and answer round, the question asked to Andrea was “If you were the leader of your country, how would you have handled COVID with the COVID-19 pandemic?”

To which she answered, “I believe there’s not a perfect way to handle this harsh situation such as COVID-19. However, I believe that what I would have done was create the lockdown, even before everything was that big because we lost so many lives. And we cannot afford it, we have to take care of our people. That’s why I would have taken care of them since the beginning.”
