NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact with chief ministers on the emerging Covid-19 situation in the country on Wednesday through video conferencing.
Union health secretary Rajesh Bhushan is likely to make a presentation at the conference.
With several festivals coming up, Modi had on Sunday urged people to stay alert to the threat from the coronavirus and continue to follow Covid-appropriate behaviour such as wearing masks and frequently washing hands.
On Sunday, in his monthly radio talk “Mann Ki Baat”, Modi said the festival of Eid, Akshaya Tritiya, birth anniversary of Bhagwan Parashuram and Vaishakh Budh Purnima will be celebrated.
“All these festivals are festivals of restraint, purity, charity and harmony. Advance greetings to all of you on the occasion of these festivals. Celebrate these festivals with great gaiety and harmony,” Modi had said.
“In the midst of all this, you also have to be alert for corona (virus). Wearing a mask, washing hands at regular intervals, whatever are the necessary measures for prevention, keep following them,” the Prime Minister had stressed. With 2,483 new coronavirus infections being reported in a day, India’s cumulative tally of Covid-19 cases rose to 4,30,62,569.
