Over the last few days, people have been behaving like nothing has happened and everything is fine, Modi said. This impression is inaccurate, every citizen needs to be alert, he said.
Modi said that it will be ignorant to think that India will not be impacted by a problem that’s plaguing the world right now. “The Government of India is keeping a close watch on this situation, this track record of the spread of coronavirus,” Modi said.
PM Modi said that citizens should try and not go to hospitals for routine check-ups. Instead, they should just call their doctors over the phone for a consultation. It is important that the healthcare system is not stretched, Modi said.
PM Modi said that it has been decided to constitute a task force under the finance minister to ensure all steps are taken to reduce economic difficulties.
The task force will make timely interventions for all economic sections of the society, Modi said.
