    The figured of Covid-19 class is astonishing. I am and my wife are held up here even though we made a trip to Mumbai, my birthplace just before the lock down and safely returned to Udupi. I can't believe that Udupi has such a high cases as it was in the green zone. Now all have to take utter precautions so that this deadly disease will spread and my advice is follow the do's and don'ts which is most important as every state in the country has been affected or in fact the entire world in some way or the other. I hope all travel facilities of all ways are free as soon as everything becomes normal. This is a deadly disease which has turned the entire world upside down. We can just pray to God to protect all of us.
