Not a lot for us in return of our lives.
Let’s do this everyone ! 💪🏼
And hopefully by the end of THIS lockdown we surely will have a reason n time to celebrate. Until then let’s get through one day at a time.
Be at home. Stay safe. Stay mentally emotionally and physically strong. Spread love. Have faith. Pray often. Speak to all those who matter daily. Meditate. Read. Cook. See the sky turn bluer every day. 21 days. Will pass. Keep it real and make it count you all.

At the risk of sounding repetitive, sharing my thoughts...there is a lockdown for a reason. Please don’t be selfish and venture out, you’re putting others lives at risk 🙏🏻#StayAtHomeSaveLives. @mybmc pic.twitter.com/G0Nms9hYoP

Celebrities also appealed people to not panic buy and hoard things as the government had assured that essential items and medicines will be available.
Stars like Alia Bhatt, Ishaan Khatter took to their social media to spread awareness and appealed to everyone to not panic.
Panic buying will increase chances of community spread ! That defeats the purpose of this very essential curfew. Please exercise caution.
