Deepika Padukone takes up the #SafeHand Challenge initiated by WHO Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to spread the importance of safety around the Coronavirus pandemic.
World Health Organisation General-Manager Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus recently posted a video of him washing his hands with the hashtag #SafeHand Challenge. He talked about how one can keep oneself protected from the recent Coronavirus pandemic by washing hands and sanitizing.

There are several measures you can take to protect yourself from #COVID19. One of the most important ones is regular & safe hand hygiene. Here are the steps recommended by @WHO ?

इस वायरस को फैलने से रोकने के लिए जो एक आसान सी चीज़ हम कर सकते है वो है अपने हाथों को स्वच्छ रखना।
हाथों को 20 सेकंड तक साबुन के साथ धोना अनिवार्य है। हमेशा अपने हाथों को अच्छे से धोएं।#SafeHandsChallenge @UNICEF @WHO pic.twitter.com/63zE8OIvY3
