Coronavirus outbreak: Indian police use the 'coronahelmet' to raise awareness during lockdown

An Indian traffic policeman has taken COVID-19 awareness to new levels by hitting the streets wearing a newly-devised red, spiky accessory: the 'coronahelmet'.

India has so far reported 803 cases of coronavirus and 20 deaths.
