Maharashtra Police post twisted version of paper game to urge people to wear mask

Marking another excellent attempt at spreading awareness about the COVID-19 pandemic, Maharashtra Police, on August 18, posted a picture of a twisted version of the choose-a-colour paper game. Instead of giving users different options to choose from, the police department wrote only one word in all four colours- Mask. 

The fortune teller game usually has four different options, written in different colours, to choose from. However, the police force's 'twisted' game had the only option written on all four corners, that is ‘Mask’. Explaining the reason behind writing mask on all four option, the police department wrote that that was no substitute for a mask. In addition, the department also urged people to be sure that they wear masks all the time adding that face coverings in any colour will do.

We will sir."
