Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses the nation tonight on issues related to the COVID-19 epidemic. This is Modi’s second address to the countrymen in less than a week as India is pushing efforts to stop the spread of the highly contagious virus.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that it is imperative to maintain the “fighting spirit” of the people to combat the spread of the virus.
As 32 states and union territories had implemented full lockout by 31 March, the Center asked them to stop the curfew in the wake of people disobeying lockdown orders.
In his previous address to the nation on Thursday, the Prime Minister urged people to observe a ‘Janata curfew’ on Sunday, which was a success for the citizens at large.
So far, almost the entire country has been under lockdown to prohibit public movement in a bid to break the chain of transmission of coronovirus.
