Coronavirus pandemic is real. The virus is highly contagious. Even one person infected by coronavirus can infect 400 healthy people. In a country of more than a billion people, it is by default an immensely difficult task to control spread of the virus. And at a time when a national lockdown is in place and is largely being implemented effectively, it is our job as citizens to abide by the rules and ensure that spread of the virus is contained.
