    Yes it's a good initiative to prevent covid 19. But simultaneously we have to create more awareness among the people. In the same time People's in public places (air port, railway station, bus stop, local markets etc.)has to maintain safe distance from each other's.

    They have to stay where they are now. In America they stopped inbound flight from few r countries, don't you think lot of American own families coming in there?. I dont think this is right idea, categorizing by A,B and C.
