Address to the nation / Modi said – Lockdown across the country for the next 21 days from 12 o’clock tonight, it is a curfew in a way
new Delhi. The largest lockdown in the world is in India and it is going to increase for 21 days now. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on the issue of coronavirus for the second time in 5 days and announced it. In this 29-minute address on Tuesday night, he said – “To save India, there will be a complete lockdown in the country from 12 o’clock tonight.” This will be stricter than public curfew. It will be 21 days. Forget what it is to get out, forget it for 21 days. If not 21 days, then your country and your family will go back 21 years. Social distancing is essential to combat Corona. We must break the cycle of transition. Corona can be avoided only if the house’s Laxman Rekha is not crossed. ‘
Every state, district, street-locality is under lockdown
The Prime Minister said- If negligence continues, India may have to pay a huge price. It is difficult to guess how much this price will have to be paid. The country has been locked in several parts for two days. These efforts of the state government should be taken seriously. Considering the experiences of the health sector, the country is going to take important decisions. Tonight, the entire lockdown is going to happen across the country from 12 o’clock. To save India, to save every citizen, to protect your family and you, a complete ban is being imposed on leaving the houses from 12 o’clock tonight. State, union territory, every district, village, town, street-mohalla lockdown is being done. It is curfew in a way. The public is a little more strict than the curfew. This step is very necessary for a decisive battle against the Corona epidemic.
If not 21 days, country and family will go back 21 years: Modi
Modi said – of course the country will have to bear the economic cost of the lockdown. But, saving the lives of every Indian, your family, is the biggest priority for me, the Government of India, and the State Government. So I pray for you. With folded hands, pray that wherever you are in the country, stay there. In view of the present situation, the lockdown in the country will be 21 days. Three weeks. Last time I spoke, then I said that I have come to ask you for a few weeks. The coming 21 days are very important for every citizen, every family. The time of 21 days is crucial for breaking the coronavirus infection cycle. If not 21 days is possible, the country and your family will go back 21 years. Many families will be devastated forever. I am saying this not as a Prime Minister, but as a member of your family. Forget what it is to get out, forget it for 21 days. Stay at home and do the same thing.
Social distancing is the only option to compete against Corona
The Prime Minister said- you are seeing that even the most capable country in the world has been destroyed by this epidemic. It is not that countries are not making efforts or they lack resources. However, coronavirus is spreading so fast that despite all the preparations and efforts it is spreading. The conclusions drawn from the two-month study of all these countries and what experts are saying is that the only alternative to effective combat with Corona is social distancing.
The transition cycle must break
Modi said- social distancing means staying away from each other. There is no other way to avoid corona. If it is to stop spreading, then the cycle of infection has to be broken. Some people are under the misconception that social distancing is only necessary for the patient, this thinking is not correct. Social distancing is for every citizen and every family. Same for the Prime Minister. Carelessness and wrong thinking of some people will put you, your children, parents, your family, your friends and the whole country in a very difficult situation.
Corona means ko-koi, ro-road, na na na
The Prime Minister said- Lockdown across the country has drawn Laxman Rekha at the door of your house. Remember that just one step out of the house can bring a serious epidemic like corona into your home. It is to be remembered that many times a person infected with corona feels healthy in the beginning. He is infected, it is not known. So take precaution, stay in your homes. People who are at home are telling this thing in a new way on social media. I am also showing you a banner that I liked. Corona means ko-koi, ro-road, na na na.

One person infected can infect hundreds of people in a week.
The Prime Minister said- Experts also say that if a person reaches coronavirus today, it takes several days to show its symptoms. During this, he inadvertently infects the person who comes in contact with him. The WHO report states that a person infected with the disease can infect hundreds of people in a week. There is another figure. It took 67 days for the number of people infected with corona in the world to reach one lakh first, after that one lakh new people got infected in just 11 days. It took just 4 days to have three lakh numbers. Can estimate how fast it spreads. If it starts spreading, it is difficult to stop. This is the reason why the virus started spreading in countries like China, America, France, Germany, Italy and then the situation became uncontrollable. Be it Italy or America, healthcare of these countries, their hospital
