While ringing the new year bells 2020, none of us knew that within two months, we would be desperately searching on Google, whether we will get milk tomorrow or not. Infact none of us have thought that we would be learning how to make social distancing. The coronavirus pandemic has reached to 425,902  positive cases. The total number of deaths due to the virus is around 18,955. 

Amid this pandemic, Social distancing is apparently the only way to stay safe from the coronavirus that has affected millions of people all over the world. 


While the government is urging people to stay indoors, it is totally up to us to follow the rules to save our lives and others too, and the Kerala is surely leading the way in this.

A few days back, a picture of people standing at a safe distance from each other outside a liquor shop in Kerala went viral.  


Now, another picture from Kerala, is going viral which is showing a shopkeeper maintaining a safe distance from the customers while selling essential commonodities.  

Which was shared and appreciated by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, he also shared the picture where a shopkeeper can be seen providing a woman with rice via a big pipe-like structure. No physical contact takes place between the two people and the woman also gets the items she has ordered in this way. 

Check the picture shared on Twitter by Shashi Tharoor:


Netizens are also loving the innovation used by the shopkeeper at a time when social distancing is our utmost priority and when shops across the country have been shut down.


These small innovations to maintain social distance from others around us, will go a long way in India's fight against this deadly pandemic coronavirus.
