This comes when the coronavirus cases in the country near the 60,000-mark. On Saturday, the national Covid-19 tally touched 59,662 cases.
In a witty tweet posted on Saturday, Mumbai Police reversed the logic of the popular game ‘cards against humanity’ to drive home Centre’s message on coronavirus preventive measures.
“Don’t pick a card against humanity. Pick all to stand with it,” the post read. The popular party game ‘cards against humanity’ is played by a person asking a question from a ‘black card’ and others responding to it with awkward answers printed on their ‘white cards’.
