Origins of Claim
FULL TEXT OF CLAIM
It is medically believed and checked that the Corona virus life at one place is 12 hours and the curfew is for 14 hours so the places or points of public contact areas where Corona may live and spread will be isolated and not be touched for 14 hours. This will break the chain of the virus spreading.
What we get after 14 hours will be a safe country. So it’s behind the idea behind. So self discipline and 100% voluntary self isolation will be beneficial to all and the country. Let’s all get together and follow this Janta curfew. In many countries they are adopting this is a military rule and are being fined if people don’t follow the curfew.
Here’s a very passionate appeal by the prime minister, let’s all support the appeal.
