It's April Fools Day! The world, however, is in a grave mood due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. To get the citizens of Mumbai light-hearted amid the lockdown, Mumbai police shared a tweet that read, "Zoom in! We've got a secret message for you." On zooming in the photograph, one could see the words, "That's too close. Don't be a fool, maintain social distance" written in a rather tiny font.

The hilarious and innovative way of advising precautions for coronavirus was lauded by Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan through his social media account. The Bang Bang actor re-tweeted the post and agreed with the sense of humour of the Mumbai Police.
