The 54-day lockdown issued from March 25 in the country is going to end on May 17. There are about 71,000 cases of corona in the country. No decision has been taken as to whether the lockdown will be extended. Meanwhile, on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting with chief ministers of all states through video conferencing and discussed issues to be raised after May 17. Indicating not to remove the lockdown altogether, but to gradually relax the restrictions, Prime Minister Modi said on Monday that he firmly believes that the measures needed in the first three phases of the lockdown are not necessary in the fourth.
The world will be like corona pre, corona post, just like World War
PM Modi told the Chief Ministers, there are two challenges before us. Decreasing the rate of infection of the disease and gradually increasing public activities by following the guidelines. According to the official release, Modi said that keeping distance from each other is the weapon to fight the corona virus till we do not find a vaccine or solution. He said, we have to understand that the world has changed after Covid-19. Now the world will be like Corona East, Corona Post, just like World War. And, in how we work, it will bring many important changes.
Thanking all the Chief Ministers for their support in the fight with Covid-19, PM Modi said, I request all of you to tell us how each of you wants to handle the lockdown in your state by 15 May. I want you to make a blueprint of how to deal with things during lockdown and after gradual relaxation. The Prime Minister said that based on the suggestions of the states, the way forward will be decided.
