A big salute and a big thank you to our heroes ,our doctors, the medical staff and any front line workers that are working tirelessly at battling this pandemic.To support them it’s our duty to stay indoors, be self quarantined, cause that’s the only way we can stop the virus from spreading. So stay indoors, wash your hands and be positive :) #indiafightscorona #jantacurfew #spirit #coronastopkarona
