It has been noticed that many individuals are not taking the lockdown seriously and can be seen roaming on the roads without any valid explanation to carry out an important work.

The name of the artist who has created ‘corona helmet’ is Gowtham.

The helmet has been affixed with spikes in order to make it resemble the structure of coronavirus as observed under a microscope. The masses are aware about this structure as it has been widely used by the media to cover various news items related to coronavirus.
