COVID-19: How Indian Namaste has become a hit across the world!

Countries across the globe have been taking special measures to stop the Coronavirus infection. Various methods, big and small, have been adopted to control this pandemic. So much so, people have made lifestyle changes to root out this health evil which is also eating away the economic stability of several nations. Amid all these useful changes, people and global leaders have been doing something interesting, and that is using the Indian greeting, Namaste.
Since people are afraid of air kisses, hugs and handshakes as a way of greeting, Namaste as a greeting gesture has started making sense to many people.

People around the world are worried that shaking hands, hugging and kissing on the cheek might help spread the virus.
In recent days, images of US President Donald Trump and Prince Charles opting to use the Indian greeting over a handshake have also gone viral.

After his return from India's tour in February, US President Donald Trump, in a public interview, said that he did not shake any hands in India. All he did was simply do a Namaste!

On the other hand, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appealed to the public that they should avoid shaking hands as he does. Instead, they can try the Indian greeting, a Namaste. In the UK, Prince Charles, who recently recovered from Coronavirus infection, was captured by the press arriving at a red carpet event. However, in the nick of time, he avoided shaking hands with the people who were at the venue to receive him, and did a quick Namaste instead.
