India’s rising Covid-19 cases have lately dominated the discourse on and off social media. With several states introducing stern measures to combat the resurgence of coronavirus cases, precautionary steps such as maintaining social distancing and use of face masks are being highlighted time and again. Amid this, a picture of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia with their faces uncovered is circulating on Facebook and Twitter. In the picture, Kejriwal is seen putting a mask on a child. Taking a dig at Kejriwal, one user wrote in Hindi, “He doesn’t wear a mask himself, but makes other people use them. He has Z+ security to shield him from coronavirus.”
