Currently, the total number of positive COVID-19 cases in India stands at 17,265, the federal ministry of health has noted. In a bid to prevent the further spread, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended the nation-wide lockdown – that was initially slated to end on 14 April – until 3 May.
Since free movement of people is restricted, states like Kerala and Odisha have reported the doubling rate of coronavirus at over 30 days.
Certain southern Indian cities like Mahe and Kodaggu have also not reported any new cases for the last 28 days.
Nevertheless, from ventilators to personal protection equipment, the country is collectively contributing in ensuring the availability of all facilities.
On Monday, Indian President Ram Nath Kovind also extended a special appreciation for police and army officials for maintaining discipline in the country at this time of unrest.
Let us express gratitude to our police, armed forces and security personnel for their courage and determination. Internally, police forces are ensuring lockdown with sensitivity and professionalism. Armed and Paramilitary Forces are securing us against cross-border terrorism.
