Complete lock down for next 21 days across India

A brief extract from PM Narendra Modi's Speech:

 - Pray for those people who are engaged in the work of sanitizing your society, your neighborhoods, your streets, public places, so that there is no trace of this virus.

- Think about the doctors, nurses, para-medical staff, pathologists, who are working day and night in the hospital to save lives from this epidemic.

- India today is at the stage where our actions today will decide how much we can reduce the impact of this major disaster.  This is the time to strengthen our resolve again and again.

 - The country must bear an economic crisis due to this lockdown.  But saving the lives of every Indian is my biggest priority at this time, of the Government of India, of every State Government of the country, of every local body.

- Every state of the country, every union territory, every district, every village, every town, every street, locality is now being locked.

- The coming 21 days are very important for us.  According to health experts, the time of at least 21 days is very important to break the corona virus infection cycle.

 - So I pray for you wherever you are in the country, stay there. Looking at the current situation, this lockdown will be 21 days in the country.

- Tonight from 12 o'clock across the country, the entire lockdown is going to happen.

 - To save India, every citizen of India is being banned from 12 o'clock tonight, on exit from homes, completely.

- The negligence of some people, the wrong thinking of some people, will put you, your children, your parents, your family, your friends, the whole country in a very difficult situation.

- Friends, lockdown has been done in many parts of the country for the last 2 days.  These efforts of the state government should be taken very seriously.

 - Some people are under the misconception that social distancing is only necessary for sick people.  It is not right to think.  Social distancing is for every citizen, for every family, for every member of the family.

 - There is no way, other than to escape the corona.  If the corona is to stop spreading, then the cycle of infection has to be broken.

 - The conclusions drawn from the two months study of all these countries, and experts are also saying that the only option for effective combat against Corona is - Social Distancing

 - PM Modi thanked the countrymen for the success of Janata curfew on 22 March.
