How to get people to take things seriously in any situation? the answer is with fun. The “Ndlovu Youth Choir” in South Africa went viral on the internet for using their voice, talent, and creativity to promote preventive measures against coronavirus with a song.
The youth had offered hygiene and physical tips in a funky way to help stem the spread of the pandemic.
In less than two minutes, the group dressed in bright and colorful traditional attire sings and dances while advising not to panic, to wash our hands, and to avoid touching their faces.
"There are already many dangerous myths and misunderstandings about the Coronavirus/COVID-19. We would like to assist by sharing a short video where we explain some basic guidelines." the choir tweeted on twitter about the performance.
The song lyrics go as follows:
“Wash your hands“Wash your hands, my friend
Don’t touch your face X2
Wash your hands
Don’t go to the doctor, just call!
Don’t touch your face X3
Wash your hands thoroughly
Don’t panic. We’ll beat corona
Don’t panic
Don’t spread rumors
We will beat corona”

It is worth mentioning that, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic on March 11 as the new virus has rapidly spread to more than 121,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
More cases of the virus, which causes respiratory disease Covid-19, continue to emerge, with outbreaks in South Korea, Italy, and Iran.
Italy recorded 368 more deaths from the coronavirus outbreak on Sunday, its biggest one day rise, amid growing concern about the ability of its strained health system to cope with the relentless increase in new cases.
Transmission of viruses between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough. They can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
It is known that older people appear to be more vulnerable to the effects of the emerging virus.
