Mumbai has reported two confirmed cases of coronavirus, which has infected more than 70 people in the country. The virus, which has spread to more than 100 countries and claimed more than 3000 lives across the world, was on March 11 declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
While Kasbekar’s tweet got the support of his followers, many netizens also criticised him for wrongly crediting the BMC for the measures.
People, who criticized him wrote that these measures, have been put in place because of the central government’s order.
Kasbekar also retweeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tweet urging people not to panic and take precautions. The prime minister, in his tweet, also said that the spread of the deadly virus can be prevented by avoiding large gatherings.
