Six youths in Indonesia are dressing up as comic superheroes to encourage locals to follow the government's COVID-19 lockdown guidelines.

As traffic stops at zebra crossings in Makassar, the youths show motorists and pedestrians signs encouraging them to prevent the spread of the virus.

The six are seen dressed as Thanos, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Deadpool, Iron Man and Blima X.

This footage was filmed on April 17.

Various methods are used by a number of people to socialize the dangers of coronavirus and what kind of ways to prevent transmission.

As seen in Makassar City, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, there are six young people who volunteered to campaign against Covid-19 by wearing super hero costumes.

The six super heroes consist of Tanos, Iron Man, Spider Man, Black Panther, Bima X, and Deedpool.

When acting on the streets, Friday 17 April 2020, they invited citizens to comply with the government's appeal and support the implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions in Makassar City which will be applied from 24 April to 7 May 2020, as an effort to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

When in action they lined up at the zebra crossing each traffic light and showed posters bearing the draw to the residents.

Posts such as stay at home, dear coronavirus go home, you are too far away, get well soon, and coronavirus teaches us to keep our distance because something close is not necessarily a contract.

This campaign is expected to be effective so that residents do not leave the house as long as the coronavirus pandemic is still happening.
