Actor
Kiran
Kumar
tested
negative
for
COVID-19,
after
being
diagnosed
as
positive
earlier.
The
veteran
actor
breathes
a
sigh
of
relief
as
he
says,
"Mr
Corona
is
out
of
my
system." Drawing
from
his
experience
as
a
COVID-19
patient,
Kiran
said
that
the
patients
should
not
be
socially
boycotted.
He
urged
people
not
to
behave
badly
with
those
fighting
the
pandemic
on
the
frontlines.
In
an
interview
with
Bombay
Times,
Kiran
said,
"Social
distancing
is
necessary
to
beat
Coronavirus,
not
social
boycotting.
It's
not
a
crime
if
someone
tests
positive
for
COVID-19.
Haan
corona
ko
chhupana
jurm
hai
and
it's
also
wrong
to
behave
badly
with
those
who
are
going
out
of
their
way
and
working
to
provide
essential
services.
If
a
neighbour
is
infected
and
in
self-isolation,
you
should
stand
by
them.
Imagine
the
plight
of
senior
citizens
who
live
alone,
just
in
case
they
have
to
self-isolate,
how
will
they
manage?"
He
added,
"At
some
point
in
the
future,
things
will
get
better,
and
the
person
who
you
stand
by
today
will
always
have
gratitude
and
love
for
you.
We
have
to
fight
Coronavirus
with
positivity
and
compassion."
Kiran
also
pointed
that
the
Coronavirus
is
here
to
stay,
but
there
is
no
need
to
panic.
He
urged
people
to
be
careful
and
not
transmit
'Mr
Corona'
to
somebody
else.
He
added
that
although
he
was
in
self-isolation
for
14
days
and
has
now
tested
negative,
he
is
still
being
very
careful.
He
also
said
that
people
need
not
rush
to
the
hospitals
because
of
a
few
symptoms,
and
strain
the
healthcare
system,
which
is
already
running
short
of
beds,
ventilators
and
healthcare
workers.
