Underlining the importance of social distancing, Modi also asked people to ‘not cross’ the Lakshaman rekha of their homes.
He also announced a financial package of Rs 15000 crore for the treatment of coronavirus patients and to strengthen health infrastructure. Meanwhile, according to the Indian Council of Medical Research, the total number of coronavirus positive cases in India rose to 536 on Tuesday.
