Amid the novel COVID-19 outbreak, people around the world are rushing back home as governments are imposing travel restrictions to contain the spread of the virus.
However, former New Zealand coach and Royal Challengers Banglore's director of cricket Mike Hesson is still in India for some unfinished meetings.
On Sunday (March 22), Hesson took to Twitter and shared a view from his hotel room in Mumbai, pointing out that citizens are taking the 'Janat Curfew' seriously.
It is worth mentioning here that India Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday (March 19) had called for a 'Janata curfew' on March 22 in the wake of Coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed over 13,000 lives globally while infecting more than 300,000 people.
When former New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum asked Hesson why he is still in India, the latter replied, saying: "further meetings taking place this week."
The crisis has also hit the cricketing world. Almost all the series and tournaments have been either cancelled or rescheduled.
It remains to be seen if the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will be able to hold Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 from April 15, given the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the country. The cash-rich event was rescheduled from March 29 to mid-April due to the epidemic last week.
As of March 22, India has tested more than 320 positive cases for Coronavirus and recorded six deaths owing to the pandemic.
