Team India skipper Virat Kohli has urged all the citizens to stay home in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic across the globe on Friday (March 27).

The virus has brought all sports activities to a halt and players are practising social distancing and self-isolation during the pandemic. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the governments all around are urging people to stay at home.

"Today, I am talking to you as a citizen of the country. Whatever I have seen over the past few days, I have seen people not following the lockdown, it has made me feel that some people are taking the battle against COVID-19 very lightly. I request you all to please follow social distancing, whatever the government is asking you to do, please follow it," Kohli said in his Twitter video.

"Think about what can happen to your family members because of your negligence. Our medical experts are fighting this battle day in and day out. If you are still going out to the streets, then I don't think you are being honest to your country," he added.

"Please wake up to the reality and seriousness of the situation and take responsibility. The nation needs our support and honesty," Virat's post on Twitter read.
