He also added “We have a twofold challenge–to reduce the transmission rate of the disease, and to increase public activity gradually,” Modi said in a video call. “Slowly but surely, economic activities have begun to pick up in several parts of the country. In the coming days, this process will gather steam. We must realize that the fight against Covid-19 has to be more focused now”, he added.
As per the data released by the health minister, India has more than 70,000 cases with over 2,200 deaths from Coronavirus till today noon. This rise in the numbers is also the result of testing that has grown from 2,000 per day in the month of March, to 80-90,000 per day currently.
The lockdown has destroyed many livelihoods that are dependent on daily wages. Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister, on Monday, said that the economic situation of India is very bad and the government might announce a financial package in a couple of days.
