The coronavirus outbreak is getting worse with each passing day as the number of cases are increasing rapidly. The whole country is trying to flatten the curve of new coronavirus patients and for that, governments have even announced lockdowns in many parts.
To prevent coronavirus in spreading, people have been advised to practice social distancing, self-quarantine, avoid mass gathering and travel only when necessary. Work From Home has been provided in various sectors, events have been postponed & canceled so that public can not gather in large numbers.
Celebs are using social media to spread awareness about coronavirus and official Twitter handles of government departments are making the utmost effort as well to make people aware about how to keep themselves safe.

With a similar purpose, Nagpur Police also took Twitter for spreading awareness with regard to social distancing, quarantining and going out with friends or family but in a creative and filmy way that instantly captured the attention of netizens.
Nagpur Police shared an image from Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani starrer blockbuster “Kabir Singh” on Twitter. In the image, Shahid Kapoor aka Kabir Singh is seen telling his elder brother “Nahi aaunga matlab nahi aaunga bola na nahi aaunga” which refers to staying at home and avoid going outside, no matter how much a friend or anyone insists.
The caption with which Nagpur Police shared it on Twitter read,
“Friends: Let’s all go together for a picnic
