The prime minister, addressing the nation on Friday morning, also urged people not to step out of their homes and stressed that the only way to break the coronavirus chain is through social distancing. “Today, when crores are inside their homes, some of us may wonder how they will fight this battle against COVID-19 alone. But please remember, none of us are alone. The strength of 130 crore Indians is with each of us,” the prime minister began. Modi also thanked the public for the way they paid gratitude on 22 March for the healthcare workers and doctors fighting COVID-19, saying the “Janta curfew” has become a model that is being emulated by other countries. **Click here for Coronavirus Outbreak LIVE Updates**
