Sindh is now in lockdown for 15 days in order to contain the spread of Covid-19, which has been declared a pandemic. Should the rest of Pakistan follow suit?

While Shehzad Roy has already expressed his support for such a decision, it seems like the fraternity agrees.

Other Pakistani stars are teaming up to encourage the nation to go in lockdown mode.

Aaminah Sheikh, Mahira Khan, HSY, Ahsan Khan, Adnan Siddiqui, Meesha Shafi, Ayesha Omar and many more participate in the video collaboration with the Ministry of Health, encouraging people to be responsible.

"Coronavirus spreads from person to person contact... which is why we need to limit or stop such contact."

They speak on the importance of social distancing and how everyone needs to practice it, not just to keep themselves safe but those around them as well.

"The most important element in social distancing is self-isolation or self-quarantining."

They also proceed to mention the safety precautions such as washing hands for 20 seconds and monitoring symptoms.

It's good to see our celebrities using their platform to raise awareness for the better; it's certainly much better than all of them singing an odd cover of 'Imagine' by John Lennon like Hollywood folks. Clearly, they're a little more self-aware.
