There’s nothing more important at the moment in this world than keeping a tap on the statistics of Coronavirus coming from all over the world. As for now, the total number of cases are 1,432,984 and 82,134 deaths so far from all over the globe. With no vaccination in our hands so far, the situation seems terrifying and disturbing. Talking about our nation, India, then so far there are 5,360 cases and 164 deaths in total at the moment. Well, this is what it is, and the only thing we can do to stop this from spreading more and more is by keeping ourselves locked down in our homes.

When asked that if having a family member with you is a huge positive, the actor immediately agreed and revealed the perks of it, "My sister helps to do things together. We have started playing a lot of chess. Plus, she’s a good cook, therefore she’s been cooking for both of us. Having someone with you in a time like this is extremely important.” Lastly, Saqib talked about his views about the on-going coronavirus pandemic and revealed what every citizen should do at this moment to save the future of humanity. He stated, “All of us should stay indoors, as we have still not found an antidote. The point is to adhere to all the things the government has said. Now is not the time to be on the streets, but to sit at home! This is how we can take the coronavirus situation head-on.”
Well, not just Saqib but his sister, Huma Qureshi is also trying her best to make the most out of her quarantine time and had shared videos of her cooking a delicious meal on March 26, 2020.
