Notably, India has witnessed a surge of 3,38,324 infections from June 1 as the lockdown restrictions eased. Addressing the nation via his ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio address on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked people to remain more vigilant in the “unlock” period and cautioned that failure to follow COVID-19 norms will put at risk their lives and those of others.
India will have to focus on defeating coronavirus and bolstering the economy, he said. “Always remember, if you do not wear a mask, do not observe the two-yard social distancing norms or do not take other precautions, you are putting others at risk besides yourselves, especially the elderly and children at home,” he asserted.
