All we are required to do is stay indoors and follow instructions from the government. It may be difficult however it is the need of the hour and we have to comply, there’s no choice.

We should have faith in our government and do the needful, which, by the way, is very simple – stay at your home. This is the time you’ve got to spend time with your family, read a new book, or maybe develop a new hobby.

For this lockdown period, We have only two suggestions 

• Please don’t panic buy! The government will provide you with essential commodities.
• Don’t circulate any random piece of information you come across on your social media. Fake news creates panic amongst citizens and thus, the wrong steps are taken.
• MOST IMPORTANTLY, If it is not extremely important, postpone all your Travel plans.

Stay Home. Stay Healthy.
