In India, a policeman named Rajesh Babu decided to use a helmet in the shape of the new coronavirus to draw people’s attention. He did this because people were still out on the streets even though the country went into quarantine on March 24th.

The accessory was created by a local artist. The artist thought that many people were not taking the disease seriously because they could not see it. He used old newspapers and toilet paper to make the police helmet look like a virus. Rajesh Babu uses the invention to stop people, especially when he sees that they are not using masks or are too close to each other.
