The world has changed overnight in the past few months after the dreaded coronavirus spread at an accelerated speed taking several thousand lives. India too has been on high alert over the past few days after the COVID - 19 virus was detected in citizens across the country with Prime Minister Narendra Modi ordering for a nationwide lockdown for 21 days, which has since then brought life as we know to a complete standstill with instructions given to the people to adopt social distancing while also following precautionary measures to avoid getting affected. Celebrities across the nation too have been requesting people to follow the protocols in order to not get affected and in the process be a factor in spreading the coronavirus among others. Likewise, Tamil comedy legend, Vadivelu, on the occasion of Meme Creators Day yesterday (March 26), appeared on video addressing fans and followers while urging them not to step out of their houses for sometime and adhere to the safety instructions that have been put into effect by PM Modi and the Indian government.

In the video, we see a distraught and heartbroken Vadivelu asking everyone to stay inside their homes as per the government order saying, "The entire medical fraternity is confused over this disease and the police are literally pleading with us for our own safety. Do consider following their requests for the future generations, if not for yourselves. Do not take this matter lightly. This issue is a highly dangerous one. Please do not come outside of your homes. Pleasxe don't,".
