“The novel coronavirus, or COVID-19 disease, can be stopped,” the actor says in the one-minute video. “Together, we can do it. All we need to do is to take some basic precautions.”

Amitabh then proceeds to list the precautionary measure one can take against the virus. “Whenever you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or a tissue,” he says. “Throw the used tissue into a closed dustbin immediately.”

He also advises everyone to not touch their eyes, nose and mouth unnecessarily, to wash their hands with soap more frequently, to avoid participating in large gatherings.
