The entire world is under the impact of the deadly Coronavirus, as ministries of almost every country on the globe are working full throttle to fight the pandemic.
In the midst of this, a Pakistani Minister has made a bizarre comment, something that would surely attract plenty of trolls in the coming days.
Protect your legs, else Coronavirus would attack
Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan, the Special Advisor to Pakistan Prime Minister for Information and Broadcasting, in a press-conference asked citizens to cover their legs, or else they would be prone to the Coronavirus.
Here is what she said:
“Tumhara jism ho, pau ho, tange ho, vo protect ho. Yeh nahi hai ki main sirf apne munh ko protect karlu aur virus neeche se aajae. Yeh sari cheeze aapko sath-sath chalani hai. Yeh bhi ek medical science hai aur humne iske liye milke kaam karna hai.”
Her quote translates to:
“Wear full clothes and cover your body. Just covering your face is not sufficient. This is a part of medical science and we have to keep this in mind.”
A Journalist Tweets the Video
Pakistani journalist Naila Inayat posted the video on her twitter handle, and the laughable clip has garnered attention across social media.

With almost 85000 views already recorded by the video, the numbers are going to rise in the coming days.
