Residents of a quarantine centre in Bihar were filmed standing in neat rows to maintain social distancing while dancing. A video of the activity - conducted to lift spirits and cheer inmates up as they isolate away from their families - has won hearts on social media.
In the video, residents of the Juafar Quarantine Centre in Siwan, Bihar, were filmed dancing to 'Sandese Aate Hai' from the 1997 film Border. Standing in five rows, they followed an instructor performing to the same song onstage. The 30-second video, which emerged online a few days ago, was shared on Twitter by Uttar Pradesh police officer Rahul Srivastav, who praised the "Covidance".
"Residents of the Juafar Quarantine Center in Siwan in Bihar have kept their spirits up through song, music and dance," Mr Srivastav wrote in Hindi while sharing the footage on the microblogging platform this morning.
