The ongoing proliferation of the novel pandemic that is the coronavirus (COVID-19) has been causing havoc on the entire world in the past two months. More than 80 countries and 15 lakh people have been affected by the virus that originated from the Wuhan city of China last year. With self-isolation, the only possible solution to flattening the steadily increasing curve is to practice social distancing.

And, consequently, the entire world is under a total lockdown at the moment. India is also under a 21-day lockdown currently and at this point of time, the medical staff and the police are risking their lives in order to ensure that those who have been affected by the contagion are treated swiftly while those who are at the risk of getting infected do not venture out on streets.

“It is heartening for me to know that the police service across the nation is helping so many people in these difficult times.

So, well done and keep putting in the same effort.” Virat Kohli and Ishant Sharna were quoted as saying by Cricket Next in a video shared by Delhi police on Twitter.

Ishant, on the other hand, also went on to urge the people to stay at home and spend time with their loved ones even as the Delhi police jawama perform their duties day and night.

“This is the time to stay at home, spend time with your loved ones and take care of yourself and your family. Delhi police jawans are performing their duties day and night,” said Ishant.

Ishant added: “Let’s come forward and help Delhi police by staying at our homes. And most importantly not to believe rumours. We will win this fight together. Jai Hind.”

The global pandemic has caused over 200 fatalities in India and with the situation not really improving, the country is bracing itself for yet another lockdown after the current one ends on April 14th.
