Memes, posts, forwards flood social media platforms amid unlock 1.0

Visakhapatnam: As the first phase of relaxation began on Monday, social media platforms were abuzz with rib-tickling memes, posts and forwards.

Barring the containment zones, places of worship, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, food courts and a number of workplaces started functioning amid coronavirus pandemic.

Netizens shared several hilarious forwards that highlighted social distancing, temple darshan, coexistence with coronavirus and safety protocols.

A collage of two photographs saying 'History repeats' depicts Mahasabha of a bygone era and how a similar protocol should be maintained in unlock 1.0 where political leaders were seated maintaining physical distance.

In a meme, the King Khan of Bollywood was seen delivering his popular dialogue 'marne se main kabhi darta nahi' (never get scared of death) as if it's hinting at the deadly virus.

In order to ensure social distancing, a group of people were seen queuing up at a function, carrying a cauldron like a helmet in another post on a Twitter handle.

Another forward on the social media platform showed how devotees were having darshan of Lord Shiva in a temple, moving slowly on a multiple-wheel vehicle that can carry individuals maintaining social distance.

Armed with masks, the security staff mentions the non-contact arrangement came in handy amid the pandemic.

For those bidding adieu to 'work from home' culture and heading to office after a long break, a forward portrays husband asking his wife, "I am going to office today after lockdown and do you want anything?" The wife responds saying, "No, that's enough!"

While many forwards and posts on Twitter handles were coated with generous dose of humour, there were posts that laid emphasis on the coexistence with coronavirus and the need to take care of ourselves by following hygiene protocols.
