“Minute precautions can make monumental impacts and save many lives,” says Prime Minister Narendra Modi in one of his recent tweets. His post is complete with a video which highlights how quickly infection can spread from one person to another and how a small step can help save lives. PM Modi mentions in his tweet that he came across this interesting video on social media. Now, as the fight against coronavirus intensifies all over the world, this video is a must watch for everyone.

He covers his mouth and wipes his nose with his hands and then proceeds to press a button in the elevator. The same elevator is used by a delivery person who touches the same button. He then proceeds to deliver food to a customer. One by one, the infection passes from one person to another.
In the end, the video shows one small step that could have saved all those people from the infection. Watch:
