The Indian government has advised all its citizen to stay indoors as long as advised otherwise. The only way to escape this virus is probably to stay home and not go outside.

Ravi Ashwin also posted on Twitter regarding this. According to the offie, the next 2 weeks are going to be extremely crucial. With many cities announcing the lockdown across the country, the 33-year-old believes that it is the need of the hour. He believes if the situations are not taken control of, it could escalate and it would be mayhem.

“Taking in all information ( both authentic and some seemingly panicky ones). One thing seems certain “The next 2 weeks are going to be extremely crucial”. Every city in India should literally feel deserted for the next 2 weeks, cos if this escalates it will be mayhem. #COVID19″ Ashwin tweeted.
