Because of a few idiots it's really heartening to see how hard the authorities have to work. Just imagine what if 300 turn up with the virus? IDS will be filled up instantly.

Please take extra care. stay HOME. Avoid all unnecessary travel and gatherings. I live in the UK. Since 6 th March 2020 we had similar numbers. 10, 18, 25, 80, 146 and so on. Then it exploded. You cant control the spread. Today more than 25,000 people are infected and sadly nearly 3000 dead. The numbers are increasing significantly every day. Please be careful. May Allah bless us all and lessen the burden on us mankind for our wrongdoings.
