Mysuru: The fear of coronavirus and unsubstantiated stories of people trying to spread the virus by scattering things, have scared people so much that they have cultivated a sense of fear of touching such things. A new currency note of Rs 100 denomination was found lying on the road at Nazarbad near Mylari Hotel in Mysuru on Friday. As people turned panicky at its sight, a man poured some sanitizer on the currency note and burnt it, not taking any chances with the spread of the deadly virus.
