Better saaf than sorry: Amul raises awareness about Coronavirus prevention

New Delhi: In an attempt to raise awareness about the novel coronavirus which has claimed over 3000 lives to date, dairy brand Amul’s new doodle is urging people to adopt healthy hygiene practices.

The dairy brand’s iconic cartoon, on its Twitter timeline, featured the Amul girl rinsing her hands in a washbasin.

Asserting the famous proverb ‘Prevention is better than cure,’ the text on the doodle read, “Better saaf than sorry.”

“#Amul Topical: Precautions against the Coronavirus!” the dairy brand tweeted.
