After Europe was declared to be the new epicenter of the global coronavirus pandemic, Italians took to social media to outline the 6 stages of how the infection spreads as a warning to the rest of the world. And India is paying heed to their advice and following a Janata Curfew tomorrow.
In addition, Mumbai is in partial lockdown until the end of March. Bloomberg quoted Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray saying, “Only essential services like milk and grocery shops and banks will remain open, and offices that do not allow work from home will have to shut down completely. Shutting down local trains, bus services will be our final resort.”
As an unexpected result, Mumbaikars are noticing clearer and bluer skies across the city. Producer and photographer Atul Kasbekar shared this image while inviting others to do the same.
Look outside…
The air seems cleaner
The sky is actually blue in Mumbai
Pretty sure this is related to the planet getting a breakThis is NOT normal in my city

#JantaCurfew and the stars are visible in Mumbai. It’s a miracle. This clearly indicates we should be doing this more often. #JantaCurfewChallenge #CoronaStopKaroNa pic.twitter.com/pfEdEsVnp8
