While a restaurant in Madurai is making parottas in the shape of face masks, recently a woman dressed as a goddess was seen distributing masks on the streets of Chennai.
According to reports, the woman is dressed as Goddess Mariamman, whom people in Tamil Nadu pray to for good health and immunity.
The step was taken to spread awareness and teach people the importance of wearing masks after state health officials reported that around 30% of the people in rural areas do not follow the guidelines in place.
Similar scenes were also witnessed in Delhi where the police asked people to stay indoors with the help of a local artist dressed as Yamraj.
