Lockdown Extended till May 3, Says PM

-

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today extended lockdown till May 3 to manage the pandemic of coronavirus in India. He also said the restrictions might be reviewed for the least affected parts of the country on April 20.

"After taking into consideration all suggestions, we have decided to increase the lockdown period till May 3," PM Modi said in his 25-minute speech shortly after India crossed the 10,000-mark in COVID-19 cases. Some state governments like Telangana, Punjab, Tamil Nadu ,Odisha have already extended their lockdown on their own.


Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses the nation, "We must make sure that this virus doesn't spread to the other parts of the country. We should always be worried all the time after we hear that somebody in some part of the country has died of the identical virus. We must make sure that new hotspots don't arise."

According to the latest Health Ministry Data, India has 10,363 COVID-19 cases and there are 339 deaths.

India was in far better shape than many other major countries within the fight against coronavirus, said the Prime Minister. "If the country had not taken any holistic or integrated steps and had not acted very fast, then the situation would be very frightening",he said.

Asserting the necessity for a strict lockdown is to confirm that COVID-19 does not spread to any new area, the PM said citizens had persevered and confronted every difficulty to confirm that India was ahead within the fight against the virus. He said "The power of 'We The People Of India' has been seen during the lockdown". 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also addresses the nation, Stay wherever your are till May 3. To boost up your immunity download the Aarogya Setu App and follow Ayush Ministry guidelines and take care of elders, senior citizens in your house.

During his meeting with 13 Chief Ministers on Saturday, PM Modi had agreed that a longer lockdown was necessary to fight against highly contagious COVID-19.

"Jaan bhi, jahaan bhi (both life and economy are important)," he told the Chief Ministers, compared to what he has said three weeks ago while declaring the total nationwide lockdown - "Jaan hai toh jahaan hai (the world exists if life exists)."

The PM said social distancing and the lockdown had been tremendously valuable in the battle to control the rapid spread of the virus.

He also states,"Yes, economically, we've paid a good price for it, but from the purpose of view of saving human lives, it's been a major step."
