With the rising cases of Coronavirus acr𓆉oss the globe, Kings XI Punjab co-owner Preity Zinta shared a video of herself on social media, urging people to take the necessary precautions to stop spreading the pandemic.
“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,” Zinta was quoted saying in the video.
“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,” the Bollywood actress added.
A lot has changed around us the past couple of days. Life on our planet has literally come to a STOP as “Coronavirus” spreads rapidly across the globe. Prevent the spread of this virus & protect yourself, family &amꦰp; your country.
