With the UK officially in lockdown, the true magnitude of the coronavirus pandemic is finally starting to be realised by some people, and West Brom have been clever in their approach to teaching supporters to social distance.
Don’t pass it on ❌
On average one person will pass coronavirus to three others. Here’s what happens if that continues for 10 passes… #StayAtHomeSaveLives | #WBA pic.twitter.com/MFKxZwunhW

The club’s official Twitter account posted a video of Matty Phillip’s goal against Huddersfield Town, which was assisted with an incredible 10-pass movement with the likes of Semi Ajayi, Daniel Furlong and Charlie Austin all being involved in the move, yet the clip had been edited to show how passing coronavirus on can cause one person to infect over 50,000 people.
Will the Championship season be completed?
Yes
No
And the clip was met with plenty of praise on social media, with many West Brom supporters happy to see the club get the message across that social distancing could be the best way to combat coronavirus following last night’s breaking news from the Prime Minister.
Here’s what lots of West Brom fans had to say on Twitter…

West Brom have taken extra precaution in fighting coronavirus by closing the Hawthorns.
