Health Official Asks People To Not Touch Face Due To Coronavirus And Then Immediately Licks Her Finger

A video of a health advisor licking her finger right after telling people to not touch their face, eyes and nose, has gone viral. In the video, Dr Sara Cody, the director of the Santa Clara County Public Health Department, can be heard saying, "Today, start working on not touching your face, because one main way viruses spread, is when you touch your own mouth, nose or eyes."

Soon after, she licked her finger to turn a page in her notes, giving the internet an incredibly hilarious moment. The video took the internet by storm and people couldn't stop laughing. One user wrote, "Was it intentional?" Another commented, ''Coronavirus has entered your phone.’’ A third user wrote, ''Two minutes of silence for all the hopes of humanity which just crashed!"
