Apart from Bollywood and social media trends, the police department has also taken a cue from a popular rule in football – showing red card to a player to report foul play, for their quirky posts.

Another post shared by the Mumbai police commissioner on Twitter urges people to ‘show the red card’ to the virus by staying at home. The post shows a sleeve of a referee holding a red card and the caption reads “'Tackling' safety is against the rule books. Show red card to the virus by not stepping out unless necessary. #BookTheVirus.”
