Social distancing is being employed across the world to slow the spread of coronavirus COVID-19, and one Twitter user in India has come up with a unique thread of how to implement it, with examples from the career of cricketing legend Rahul Dravid.
Twitter user @sagarcasm listed various qualities of Dravid that should inspire people to stay away from large gatherings and slow the spread of the virus. These ranged from “It’s important to have a clean and safe pair of hands” to “You can overcome the worst of the situations with patience”.
Here’s the thread:

The tweets come at a time when the death toll due to the virus has crossed 5000 globally and is now three in India. To prevent the infection from spreading, public gatherings are being discouraged and educational institutions have been shut. (Follow Coronavirus India updates here)
