Candelario Maldonado, a Mexican Batman impersonator, drives through the city of Monterrey asking people not to leave their homes to prevent the spread of coronavirus, as footage from Thursday shows.

At the wheel of a car modified to look like the iconic Batmobile, Maldonado drives the streets of the city, with his bat-speakers blasting the message, "Hey, you, stay home. Try to get out as little as possible," in an attempt to make the people aware of the need to comply with health recommendations.

"In the world, we have not seen voices of leadership, we have not seen leaders, and our state was no exception, that's why we decided to go out on the streets, to share with the people, to ask them to return home," says the caped crusader.

In the last 24 hours, Mexico has registered 20 new deaths with coronavirus and at least 260 new confirmed cases, bringing the number of deaths to 194 and confirmed cases to 3,441, according to the Vice Secretary of Prevention and Promotion of Health Hugo Lopez-Gatell.
