Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has requested citizens to maintain social distancing and strictly follow health precautions directed by the government.

India has faced a spike in coronavirus cases steadily despite over a month-long curfew.

In a radio address, Modi urged hundreds of millions of citizens to sustain the people driven fight and not to have any wrong idea in believing the virus outbreak has been brought fully under control.

“I will urge you that we should not be trapped into over-confidence and nurse the belief that in our city, in our village, in our streets, in our office, coronavirus has not reached and that is why it will not reach” Modi said.
