NEW DELHI : People have been largely cooperative of lockdown restrictions meant to slow COVID spread, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a video message to the nation. It is 9 days since the country locked down completely – a model patterned after by several countries around the globe, he added.
PM also presented a ritualistic antidote. Everybody on Sunday night shall turn off lights between 9 – 9.30 pm and light a lamp in that time, to dispel darkness of the dreadful disease that hangs overhead, said PM. We must in this manner remove the coronavirus darkness from our midst, he said.
However, nobody should gather outdoors for the purpose; social distancing is the only effective way to keep coronavirus at bay, PM emphasised. The clip incidentally carried no hint on possible extension of the ongoing lockdown
