Williamson and Finch react after shaking hands during toss at the SCG ODI | GettyThe Coronavirus threat has gripped the entire world thanks to its deadly results as over 5,800 people have died so far after contracting the COVID-19. The epicenter of the outbreak is believed to be the Wuhan Province in China, a market for the meat trade and where exotic animals like alligators, monkeys, snakes, pangolins, and others were butchered for consumption.

Initially, the virus spread after people ate and drank bats and bat soup in Wuhan, and then infected people traveled to different parts of the world and people of different countries came in contact with them in China and other parts spread the disease everywhere.

The governments of almost every country in the world have advised the people coming from abroad to get checked if they have sore throat, continuous cough and sneezes and are running a high temperature. The advisory also asks people infected with these symptoms to self-isolate themselves in their homes while receiving treatment.

Regarding this, an Australian journalist Veronica Eggleton questioned that how the government is knowing that the people arriving in the country are self-isolating themselves in real. “Genuine question - how does the Government know if new arrivals are actually self-isolating? #COVID19Aus,” she tweeted.

Australia limited-overs captain Aaron Finch then quoted the tweet and mentioned that he was thinking about the same thing.  

To which David Warner added his two cents as well, asking what about the taxi, trains, uber they are taking from the airport to reach their homes.

The threat of coronavirus is making everyone tense as both Finch and Warner are slated to play in the IPL 2020 which was postponed to April 15 due to the same reason. The Indian government has suspended all visas until April 15 and put on hold all the sporting activities in the nation.
