The expansion of the new epidemic of coronavirus sent alarm bells around the world. More than half a million people have already been infected by the virus, which originated in Wuhan City, China, late last year. The whole world is on lockdown as people practice self-isolation to avoid the spread of fear of COVID-19.
With everything on lockdown, the biggest sufferers have noted, and they don’t have the luxury of storing their inventory in times of crisis. Therefore, to support them, all sections of the public are coming forward by contributing their turn towards the aid fund.
And, the latest to join the bandwagon is Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, who has donated 50 lakhs to the COVID19 Relief Fund, according to Mid-Day Report. Sachin Tendulkar is reluctant to talk about this as he regularly contributes to relief funds during disasters. Sources also said that Sachin had previously donated 25 thousand Australian dollars to the Bush Fire Support Camp.

“He does not like to talk. He regularly contributes to relief funds in the event of disasters.
Of the INR 50 lakhs, half of the amount has donated to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund in Maharashtra. This state is steadily developing as the epicenter of the pandemic COVID-19.
India is currently under a 21-day lockdown post, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on March 23, and Master Blaster has been very active on social media where he can see asking people to stay at home and help him follow all the guidelines of the Government and health professionals.
Tendulkar tweeted, “Our government and health professionals have requested to stay at home and not venture out. Many are still doing so. My family & I are at home and will not be out for the next 21 days.
Our government and health experts have requested us to stay at home & not venture out. Yet many people are doing so.
My family & I are at home, will not be stepping out for the next 21 days.
I request you all to do the same. #CoronavirusLockdown pic.twitter.com/WG2pkd6Ljc— Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) March 25, 2020
