The new Google Doodle uploaded on Tuesday, 6 April, urges people to wear a mask. It is titled ‘Wear a Mask. Save Lives'.
The doodle is made in a way that a portion of the letters of the word ‘Google’ is covered with a mask. It is an attempt by the company to spread awareness about the importance of wearing a mask in the times of a pandemic. It reads, “Masks are still important. Wear a mask and save lives.”
The recent spike in the daily COVID-19 cases has made it important for all of us to follow the protocols to stop the spread.
The doodle description further provides a hyperlink to the necessary steps one needs to keep in mind to prevent the spread of the virus.
- Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand rub.

- Wear a mask when physical distancing is not possible.
- Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a bent elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
- Stay home if you feel unwell.
