Malaysia has been badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Malaysian government taking measures to flatten the curve, including implementing an extended nationwide movement control order (MCO) till 14 April. While we’re all doing our part and observing the MCO, it doesn’t mean that we can’t have fun while we’re at it! Here are 4 ways local celebrities and institutions alike are keeping busy on TikTok during the MCO.

Spread awareness, NOT the virus, with the #safehands challenge
Leading by example, governments around the world, including Malaysia are doing all they can to stop the spread of COVID-19. Following suit, many institutions across various industries are also playing their part to flatten the curve, as a concerted and collective effort is required now more than ever. This is why institutions like the World Health Organization have teamed up with technology companies like TikTok to raise awareness about good hand hygiene through the #safehands challenge, the primary (and easiest) way to stop the spread of the disease. At the time of writing, #safehands challenge has garnered over 2.4 billion views, with local and global celebrities alike participating for a greater cause.
