In the recent news, the Prime Minister has humbly asked the people of the country to “self curfew” in regard to the spread of the virus. He has urged each one of us to maintain the decorum and acknowledge the measures of doctors and everyone in this fight. In this concern, he has motivated everyone to congratulate each other by applauding themselves and others.

The Prime Minister said, “My dear fellow citizens, the whole world is currently passing through a period of a very serious crisis. Normally, when a natural crisis strikes, it is limited to a few countries or states. However, this time the calamity is such that it has put all of mankind in crisis. World Wars 1 and 2 did not impact as many countries, as have been affected by corona today.

Over the last two months, we are continuously observing and hearing of grave corona virus related news. In these two months, the 130 crore citizens of India have ably dealt with the global corona pandemic and have exercised due caution.

However, in the past few days, it is appearing as if we have averted the crisis, and everything is okay. Complacency in respect of a global pandemic like corona is not appropriate. Therefore, it is essential that each and every Indian remains alert and cautious.”

Adding to his effort, here are some precautionary measures you can take.
