Mumbai, March 26 (IANS) As the nationwide lockdown continues amid of outbreak of COVID-19, actor Arjan Bajwa is spending happy time at home receiving a lot of praise for his performance in the web series "State Of Siege: 26/11".## Although the actor does not mix the two situations of enjoying success and the reason for the lockdown, Arjan told IANS: "I think this is the time we have got to introspect on how we were living our lives and how we should live henceforth sustainably. We will be staying at home for a couple of weeks right now. It is not just us, but the whole world."## The famed actor added: " Rarely did it happen in the past that people of the entire world stood still like this. It's as if life is in standby mood.

We have to strictly follow the rules to really save our lives. We have to stand together to fight the virus," he said.## "State Of Siege: 26/11" is based on Sandeep Unnithan's book "Black Tornado: The Three Sieges Of Mumbai 26/11".## The show is directed by American director Matthew Leutwyler and produced by Abhimanyu Singh. It features Mukul Dev, Arjun Bijlani, Vivek Dahiya, Sid Makkar, Tara Alisha Berry, Khalida Jaan, Jyoti Gauba, Roshni Sahota, Suzanne Bernert, Naren Kumar and Jason Shah.## The show is streaming on the OTT platform ZEE5.## Arjan plays the character of Colonel Kunal Sahota, the commanding officer of the NSG unit that arrives in Mumbai to take charge of handling the terrorist attacks.## "I am so glad that I am receiving so much positive feedback for the work we, the team of ‘State Of Siege: 26/11', put together. I waited for such appreciation for so long. And I am not saying because I want to thank everybody but it is really the collaborative effort of writer, director, cinematographer, producer and every member who came together and envisioned the project," he said.## For more and latest news about Bollywood, stay tuned with us.

Firstly, that each of us has a significant role to play and the strange thing about this war against Coronavirus is; restraint is our weapon, stillness, our defense and distance is the sign that we deeply care."

Singapore, March 26 (IANS) Contrary to some reports, researchers now claim that new coronavirus doesn't spread via tears and it is unlikely that infected patients are shedding virus through eye fluid.## While researchers are certain that coronavirus spreads through mucus and droplets expelled by coughing or sneezing, it is unclear if the virus is spread through other bodily fluids, such as tears, said the study published in the journal Ophthalmology.## There is one important caveat, though.## None of the patients in the study had conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye. However, health officials believe pink eye develops in just one percent to three percent of people with coronavirus.## For the findings, researchers at National University Hospital in Singapore collected tear samples from 17 patients with COVID-19 from the time they showed symptoms until they recovered about 20 days later.## Neither viral culture nor reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detected the virus in their tears throughout the two-week course of the disease, the researchers said.## The study researcher Ivan Seah also took samples from the back of the nose and throat during the same time period.## The findings showed that when a sick person coughs or talks, virus particles can spray from their mouth or nose into another person's face.## You're most likely to inhale these droplets through your mouth or nose, but they can also enter through your eyes, according to the research.## The study also revealed that you can also become infected by touching something that has the virus on it -- like a table or doorknob -- and then touching your eyes.## While the patients' tears were clear of the virus, their noses and throats were teeming with COVID-19, the researchers said.## The authors wrote that the findings, coupled with the low incidence of the pink eye among infected patients, suggest that the risk of virus transmission through tears is low.## The researchers hope their work helps to guide more research into preventing virus transmission through more significant routes, such as droplets and fecal-oral spread.## Stay tuned...
