Mumbai, July 4 (IANS): Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan took to social media on Sunday to share a poem urging his fans and followers to take precaution against coronavirus amid the ongoing pandemic.

The poem reads: “Suno suno aye duniya walon: yeh virus ghar dhoond raha hai; aur uska ghar hai insaan ke phepre, lungs! Khabardar! Darwazein khidkiyan sab bandh kar do, ghar mein ghusne na do usse! Mask pehno aur duree banaye rakkho dusron se, bhid se, party se! Aur haan, hath-wath dhote rehna barabar! Ok! (Listen Oh residents of the world; this virus is looking for home, and it resides inside human lungs! Beware! Keep all the doors and windows shut and don’t let it enter its home! Wear a mask and maintain safe distance from other people, from crowd, and from parties! And yes keep washing your hands repeatedly! Ok!)”
