date after 15 days is:  2020-02-20 10:05:20 +0000 UTC

Explanation:

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the fmt package that includes the files of package fmt then we can use a function related to the fmt package.

In the main() function, we created a date object using Date() function. Then we added 15 days to the date using Add() function. After that, we printed the updated date on the console screen.
