Till the Thursday (March 19), the virus has claimed around 9000 lives and infected 221568 peoples globally while forced the entire world to be locked down to deal with the health crisis.   

The KXIP co-owner stared off the video saying people are not happy with the forced holidays but it is a time to be responsible citizens and stay at home and spread love instead of this virus by the outing.

Zinta was quoted saying in the video, “Please stay inside your house and wash your hands repeatedly. Secondly, don’t go outside because it is very infectious and it will affect a lot in the next 2 weeks when we will get to know about the cases that have come to India and the ones that have been detected.”

The Bollywood actress signed off by saying, “It is important that you stay at home, do not spread the virus, because our healthcare system will get overwhelmed with this. There are ventilators, emergency rooms in hospitals, they are for trauma patients, for long-term patients that have disease and issues. Don’t spread the virus, spread love, stay at home.”
