According to local media reports, the message was written on the road at Nagenahalli check-post by the police officers in the regional language. The cops wrote the message after the coronavirus cases in the state reached 110.

Bengaluru police have been spreading awareness through various means. A few days back, the traffic police also shared a video on Twitter in which one could see a police officer wearing a helmet while making an announcement before a biker arrives on the scene. Soon after a police officer wearing a helmet resembling Coronavirus sits pillion while another, with a similar helmet, runs up and begins troubling the man riding motorcycle. The rider is then made to wear the Coronavirus helmet to signify that he is travelling away with the virus.
The hilarious skit to spread awareness also received thousands of praises from Twitter users. While some people called the idea ‘innovative’, others also said that it is “better than lathi charge and more effective”. One user also wrote, “BLR police are so much more civilised and have a great sense of humour. Respect”. Another said, “super message”.
