Many of the twitter users have made the same tweet of "May the 4th be with you." Earlier, PM Modi announced a 21-day lockdown in the country, which was supposed to get over tomorrow. But the current situation is not allowing to do so and led to lockdown extension. The total number of COVID-19 positive cases in the country has crossed the 10,000 mark with taking 339 death toll.
