With Coronavirus sparked an atmosphere of panic for people, it has also changed the way they greet each other. People, in the bid to avoid direct contact with others, have adopted the Indian way of greeting. They are ditching handshakes and pecks on the cheeks and moving towards Namaste –folding  hands to greet people.

 A video shared by an Indian Forest Services official shows people greeting each other with a Namaste. He writes in the caption, “Namaste. See we Indians told to do this to world many many years ago. Now just a class on ‘how to do namaste properly’.”
