Coronavirus auto hits Chennai streets to tell people stay at home – India Today

While the entire nation is in a government imposed lockdown to fight the novel coronavirus, the people of Chennai are coming up with new and innovative ways to put light on the importance of quarantine. We recently came across an auto that has been modified to look like the new virus.

The main motive behind this idea by the zone 12 division of the Chennai corporation is to raise awareness among people regarding the pandemic.

People in the city are being urged to stay at home and avoid going out on the streets until absolutely necessary. The auto that has been modified to look like the novel coronavirus is out on the streets and the people are being asked to stay at home.

Wearing a face mask has also been made compulsory whenever stepping outside. Anyone who is spotted without a face mask is fined Rs 100 and given 4 cloth masks as an awareness activity by the zone 12 team.
