Former wicketkeeper-batsman and current South Africa head coach Mark Boucher has suggested that amid the ongoing "global lockdown" in the wake of coronavirus pandemic, cell phones should also be turned off for two weeks. "The only thing missing in this 'global lockdown' is the cell phone use! What about turning that off for 2 weeks as well!?" Boucher tweeted on Tuesday.

The entire world has been brought to a virtual standstill in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak which has so far claimed more than 7,000 lives. The outbreak has affected all aspects of life and countries across the world are trying their best to reduce the spread of COVID-19, which originated from China's Wuhan. Earlier, India cricketer Rohit Sharma also expressed concern over the coronavirus outbreak and called upon the countrymen to take all preventive steps.
