Kabul is living its hard time, facing the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic – although people do not take it seriously, the city is experiencing a lock-down.

Kabul is the second Afghan city hit by the virus. Though several cases are being tested positive for the virus in the capital Kabul every day, and restrictions have been announced by the authorities, neither the disease nor the restrictions on movements have been taken seriously by most people. Many believe that the real concern is that if the inconsideration and the recklessness continue, the city will walk into an uncontrollable situation.

Meanwhile, Americas, Indians and Brazilians have welcomed the lock down, helping the government in the fight against the COVID-19 by staying put.
