A video of a Covid-19 lockdown violator converting his T-shirt into a mask, as a policeman hits him with a baton in Uttar Pradesh, is going viral online.

 

In the video, the man can be seen standing at a traffic signal with his face uncovered. But just as a cop approaches and hits him with a baton for not wearing a mask, the man takes off his T-shirt and converts it into a mask in no time at all. 

After the video went viral, the twitterati pointed out that a cop’s baton can teach people a lot. 

While another wrote that he had learnt to make a similar mask after he had a narrow escape from being hit by a baton. 

 

​India has so far reported total 13,387 positive COVID-19 cases and 437 people have died, according to federal Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Friday.
