A giant coronavirus is stalking the streets of southern India -- propelled by a 100cc engine and an inventor trying to drive home the message that Indians should stay indoors as the pandemic sweeps across the world.
Sudhakar Yadav's wacky small single-seater car -- made of fluorescent-green fibre and complete with the red crown-like spikes of the virus -- has been racking up the miles in the tech hub of Hyderabad to remind fellow citizens of the dangers of Covid-19.
"People are not scared and are still... on the streets despite the clear danger," the 67-year-old Yadav, who runs a printing business, told AFP.
"My message through the car art is to make them understand that it is dangerous to be out on the streets and the safest place right now is the home."
