The coronavirus pandemic has resulted in weird times in people’s lives and made their living ‘taxing.’ The Swiss maestro Roger Federer raised his concerns on the widespread as numbers of the people globally infected are rising every hour. He’s presently on his injury hiatus, taking rest and recovering well in his residence in Switzerland. 

“I’m also staying home and I haven’t been shaking anybody’s hands for quite some time now. Obviously, I wash my hands very frequently as we’re supposed to,” Federer conveyed to the world.

It was Federer’s first social media appearance since his knee surgery in February.  On the professional courts, Roger has planned to show up for the grass-court season. Hopefully, by then the world is back to normal and tennis tour resumes.

“I believe helping each other is more important now than ever. Especially because we want to help the older generation. They’re the ones at highest risk and we need to help them by keeping a distance of two meters and not shake hands,” the Swiss ace continued.

He further stressed on the importance of social distancing and advised to follow the rules laid down by the government. The protection of one and another is the ultimate goal of the planet right now.

“It’s really important to take these rules seriously. Very very seriously. Eventually, we could all be in quarantine and not be able to leave the house anymore so I really hope all of us take it very seriously,” he added.
