The video shows the doctor running around the stage, chasing the virus, with a large syringe in hand. The nurse can also be seen running around the stage showing people the correct method to wash hands.

The video, which quickly went viral, has garnered over 28 lakh likes with over 90 thousand people retweeting it.

However, the video received mixed reactions after some of them thought it was racist as the kid portraying the virus was sporting a traditional Chinese hat.
