In fact, they say that coming to the streets and creating a chaos is not the solution to defeat the virus. Right now, the primary action is to stay at home. Staying home for 21-days is the only way to protect oneself, their families, and the nation.

Furthermore, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma talk about the importance of self-isolation. They try to explain why this 21-day period of lockdown is a necessary step.
