BCCI releases guidelines to stay safe during coronavirus outbreak: Check full list

As the nation-wide lockdown due to coronavirus continues, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has come up with simple steps which people can follow and stop the spread of novel coronavirus. To recall, all the cricket-related activities including the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League have been suspended in the wake of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In a series of tweets, BCCI on Thursday came out with a "friendly guide: How to battle coronavirus".

Stay indoors, don`t venture out

If you have to get out, maintain distance

Ensure you have a clean and safe pair of hands

Help with household chores

Pass on important information to everyone

Emerge victorious together

Each of the BCCI tweets has a symbolic picture of Indian cricketers on the field of play from old matches. 

The nation has been put under a complete lockdown from Tuesday midnight for the next 21 days. 

Celebrities from all walks of life, including cricketers, have been urging people to adhere to the guidelines issued by the health authorities and government -- in particular to practise social distancing and stay indoors. Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli and many others have urged the countrymen to stay at home as "this simple task can save millions of lives" during the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
