'RT today' reported a unique "anti New Coronavirus epidemic" practice in India: on the 9 day, in the traditional celebration of India's "red Festival", Mumbai people burned a COVID-19 statue about 15 meters high in the street, hoping to eliminate the virus in this way.
It is reported that local people lit the statue of "virus" with a "sword" burning a huge flame, and then the fire burned from its feet to its head. The crowd cheered.
Novel coronavirus pneumonia has 45 confirmed cases in India. At present, the government has stopped issuing e-visas to travelers from severely affected areas (Italy, India, South Korea and Japan), and set up mandatory health checkpoints at 21 domestic airports.
