The fear of coronavirus has escalated to such an extent that there is no turning back now. The public panic and tension is almost as frightening as the disease itself. On the one hand, where people are taking numerous precautions in it's aid, doctors, nurses and hospital staff are also becoming extra vigilant at this time. Amid all the fear, a recent video of a lady doctor in China, repeatedly washing her hands for several times after taking off her protective gear and hazmat suit has taken the internet by storm. 

The lady doctor, keeping in mind the precautions and her hygiene, washed her hands not once or twice but around 11 times. In the video, she is being seen washing her hands each time she removes a protective gear or any layer of clothes from herself, in order to not come in contact with the virus that possibly could be on her.
