As coronavirus cases have been increasing in Pakistan with each passing day, it has been recommended to stay at home to avoid getting the virus.
Government, as well as Pakistani celebrities, have been urging people to practice isolation and stay at home for some time. Many of the celebs have utilised their social media platforms to ask fans to be responsible citizens. They said to be cautious as the virus continues to spread in Pakistan and across the world.
Actor Adnan Siddiqui, who recently returned from a trip to the United States, has also gone into self-isolation. He said, “Before anyone says anything, I have decided to lock myself in my room for 14 days”. Actor Humayun Saeed who also returned from US is accompanying Adnan during their quarantine period.
Social activist Jibran Nasir and actor Maya Ali also get their tests done after their return from the US. However, their tests come negative which gave them a sigh of relief.
Fahad Mustafa also requested fans to keep their ego asides, and don’t get offended when people don’t meet you.
