The importance of social distance is at urgent need at this moment. We are in a battle with the deadly virus that researchers are yet to know more about. Not much information is available for the novel coronavirus that has infected over a million in a few months globally. Ever since its first outbreak last year in the Chinese city of Wuhan, COVID-19 has spread significantly with many countries going under lockdown. India too is under lockdown as the virus has taken a toll on the citizens. Amid the ongoing crisis, a heart-touching video has appeared on social media, showing Kerala policemen helping a homeless man with food while he maintains social distance. The clip has generated thousands of views with netizens praising everything in the 38-seconds video. It reinforces how we can beat the deadly virus. Kerala Police Share Footage of COVID-19 Lockdown Violators Shot on Spy Drone With ‘Tracer Bullet’ Challenge Commentaries. 

The footage begins showing a homeless man lying on the stairs. Three police officers approach him to give food and water. But the next thing inspires the viewers even more. The homeless man immediately stops them, asking to step back and keep the food at a distance, while he quickly covers his mouth. His self-awareness is impeccable. The police obey his demand and place the food at a distance and go away, as the man collects it and eats. Social Distancing Ad by Ohio Department of Health Wins Praises Online for Describing the Risk of COVID-19 Spread.
