Ronald McDonald is sporting a mask- Are you? The QSR chain's iconic mascot is asking customers to stay safe

Amidst the ongoing health crisis, McDonald’s lovable mascot Ronald McDonald is urging you to keep safe.

His message is simple- follow social distancing and wears a mask to keep yourself and everyone around you safe.

In an innovative activation by brand McDonald’s, the iconic Ronald McDonald statues will now be seen sporting masks across all outlets to encourage more and more people to adopt safe practices to prevent spread of the pandemic.

“Ronald is an icon that people and especially children love. We hope that Ronald wearing a mask will make a strong statement and encourage more and more people to follow these very important safety measures,” said Arvind RP, Director – Marketing and Communications, McDonald’s India (West and South).

The QSR chain has also stepped up its already world-class hygiene and safety practices in the restaurants across dine-in, delivery and takeout to keep everyone visiting them or ordering from them, safe.

McDonald’s restaurants in West and South India are operated by Westlife Development Ltd. (WDL), through its wholly owned subsidiary Hardcastle Restaurants Pvt. Ltd. (HRPL).
