Watch: Kerala Police Performs 'Hand Washing' Dance To Raise Awareness Amid Coronavirus Pandemic
Kerala had cured the three earliest cases in the state over a month ago. The precautions and measures that are being taken by the state to tackle coronavirus and misinformation is being lauded by others. Whether it's the food that is being served to the patients and those in quarantine, or the deployment of robots in hospitals to dispense hand sanitizers and information - Kerala is taking things seriously.
One of the most basic precautions that the WHO and other organisations like UNICEF have advised is the washing of hands for a good 20 secs. Now a lot of people on social media have come up with ways to keep your hand washing time interesting and demonstrate how to do it properly, and joining the creative task force is the Kerala police now.
To encourage the practice of regularly washing hands and highlight the importance of it, some police officers in Kerala can be seen performing hand washing steps on catchy music, in a now-viral video.
The hand-washing themed dance features six police officers, with mask on their faces, performing synchronized dance steps that are basically a ¡®how to wash your hands' guide.

Promoting ¡®Break the chain¡¯ campaign, the one minute video ends with the cops giving the viewers a thumbs-up after the dance.
This is how some people have reacted to the video.
Cool. Actually. During these tense times, it's necessary to create awareness. Do not be discouraged by snide remarks. Any move is a good move made in the name of awareness.
