‘Namastey over handshake’: Israel PM Netanyahu advice amid coronavirus fears
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Wednesday encouraged his citizens to greet each other with a ‘Namastey’ — the common Indian manner of greeting with folded hands — and avoid handshakes, as one of the measures to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
At a press conference following a review meeting to fight the infection, Netanyahu said several measures will be announced to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, but some simple steps like replacing handshakes with other forms of greetings, like the Indian ‘Namaste’, can help. He also demonstrated at the press conference how Indians do ‘Namaste’.
