Bollywood veteran
Dilip Kumar has been meticulously doing his bit on Twitter to inform and educate his fans about the COVID-19
outbreak
.
In his Tweet on Wednesday, Kumar wrote, "I've been told coronavirus can spread in cold as well as hot weather. My fervent appeal to you: avoid crowded places and unnecessary outdoor
exposure
. #CoronaVirusUpdate".
This came as a followup to a post the day before, in which the 97-year-old cautioned his followers: "I appeal to all of you to protect yourself and others by staying indoors as much as possible. The #CoronavirusOutbreak transcends all boundaries and borders. Follow guidelines issued by health departments, protect yourself and others by limiting your exposure to others".
The '
Naya
Daur' actor who was recently discharged from the hospital following backaches, has since then put himself under home
quarantine
as a precautionary step.
