'Corona Virus Challenge' : Tik-Tok Influencer Tests Positive
Mar 26, 2020
Coronavirus has claimed more than 21,000 lives around the world and still hasn’t come under control. It continues to spread across many regions and people still have not started to take this seriously.
Many irresponsible influencers have been posting challenges and continue to mock the ones who are anxious about this pandemic affecting their lives.

A video surfaced a few weeks ago which showed a woman licking the toilet seat of a plane bathroom and shared the video on Tik-Tok. The challenge caught on and another influencer participated and did not expect what happened next.
According to the reports, he is now in the hospital and has been tested positive for COVID-19. His account was also suspended from twitter.
It still remains unclear whether taking up the challenge resulted in this or it was due to another reason.
In light of this, it is best not to take part in online challenges that simply exist to mock people. Corona Virus has become a global problem and nationwide curfews have been enforced and every citizen of their respective countries has been told to stay at home and practice social distancing.
