Coronavirus Scare: Akshay with Twinkle, Priyanka Chopra, Malaika Arora, Kareena and Saif make plans
Amid the coronavirus scare, many Bollywood celebrities, who have decided to stay at home and self-isolate to be safe, share how they are spending their 'quarantine' time. In this one, Akshay Kumar's fan club shared how the actor is enjoying the time with family. Twinkle Khanna also gave tips on how to keep yourself calm in such a situation on social media, and wrote: "We should not worry about getting the virus but we should modify our behaviour as if we already have it and don't want to infect others as that is the only way to contain it."

Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who is currently in California with her husband Nick Jonas, is enjoying her self-isolation too. "Staying home during this time is the safest thing to do. @ginothegerman giving mommy hugs makes it so much better.. [sic]" shared the actress on social media.
Speaking about self-care, Madhuri Dixit-Nene's husband, Dr Shriram Nene wrote on Twitter, "Ironic that the prospect of a pandemic brings us to respect the little things and retool how we live (sic)." He also wondered how the count is so low in Africa "are they not testing it? Any theories (sic)?" "Am looking at the data and have put our company in remote operations from home. Social distancing, quarantines, and travel restrictions are key. But the cow may be already out of the barn: mitigation with monitoring if the highest risk folks is key."

As soon as Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thakeray announced the closure of public places, including malls and gyms, many Bollywood celebrities, who often work out in the gym, had a different plan to stay fit amid the coronavirus outbreak.

While many had their own version to beat COVID-19, Kajol left everyone in splits with her story over the weekend. Amid the coronavirus outbreak, when hygiene and sanitising are of utmost importance, DDLJ's iconic train scene was made into a meme. It features the popular snap of the train scene where SRK hangs out of the train, hand outstretched for Kajol, who runs on the platform to catch it. The difference this time is that Kajol has a bottle of sanitiser in her hand! Kajol wrote, "Even Simran knows the importance of sanitising... #staysafefromcoronavirus" Well, isn't this a good way to reach out to her fans and get them to keep it hygienic during these trying times?

Let’s utilise this 'precious' time to take care of ourselves by exercising at least 4 times a week and building stronger immunity. Here’s how you can pack in a proper routine using just the staircase. Practise this anytime during the day (preferably after an hour of eating). You don’t need to come in contact with anyone else for it. Swasth raho, mast raho!"
Anupam Kher, who is keeping fans posted with the dos and don't of coronavirus while being in New York, shared a video with the caption, "Sometimes when there is a certain kind of panic inside you it is helpful if you acknowledge it.
