Prime Minister @narendramodi to respect the 21 day National Lockdown. Please DO NOT venture out & help the nation fight this deadly pandemic. 🙏🏼 Together we can, and we will. #CoronavirusLockdown #CurfewInIndia — Vikrant Massey (@masseysahib) March 24, 2020 × It is extremely important for ALL of us to follow the 21 day lockdown laid down by our PM Shri @narendramodi ji. Please stay at home to help contain the spread of the virus and follow the safety protocols 🙏🏻 — Anushka Sharma (@AnushkaSharma) March 24, 2020 × At the risk of sounding repetitive, sharing my thoughts...there is a lockdown for a reason. Please don’t be selfish and venture out, you’re putting others lives at risk 🙏🏻#StayAtHomeSaveLives. @mybmc pic.twitter.com/G0Nms9hYoP — Akshay Kumar (@akshaykumar) March 24, 2020 × Celebrities also appealed people to not panic buy and hoard things as the government had assured that essential items and medicines will be available. Stars like Alia Bhatt, Ishaan Khatter took to their social media to spread awareness and appealed to everyone to not panic. Panic buying will increase chances of community spread ! That defeats the purpose of this very essential curfew. Please exercise caution.

Please do yours, don’t step out for anything that is not essential. Don’t put others and yourself at risk. We will come out of this stronger. Prayers, LOVE and energies for everybody 🙌🏽❤️ #21dayslockdown #quarantineshave A post shared by Ishaan (@ishaankhatter) on Mar 24, 2020 at 9:23am PDT × The next 21 days of the #CoronavirusLockdown announced by the Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi ji is of utmost importance.
