Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses the nation as cases of the coronavirus diease are on the decline after a deadly surge. In the last two months several states have gone under the strict restrictions to curb the spread of coronavirus.

Addressing the nation, PM said, "This is the biggest pandemic in the last hundred years. The modern world had neither seen nor experienced such an pandemic.” He stated how our country has fought together on many fronts during such a big global pandemic from making ventilators to preparing a network of laboratories to create a new medical infrastructure during the pandemic which has been the worst in the last century. India launched not one but two Made-in-India vaccines within a year as it bypassed every apprehension. Modi further added that how the government supported the companies making the Covid-19 vaccine in every possible way. PM Modi compared the situation with history of India “If you look at the history of the last 50-60 years, you will know that it used to take decades for India to get the vaccine from abroad. Vaccine work used to be completed abroad, even then the work of vaccination could not start in our country.” PMO made the announcement about his address earlier in the day.

PM Modi’s last address to the nation was on April 20, when cases of the coronavirus disease were rising across the country. And today, PM's address comes when India recorded 100,636 new Covid-19 cases the lowest in 61 days. He in his statement added, "In a situation like today, we have to save the country from a lockdown. If you all work together, create awareness then there is no need for containment, never mind a lockdown. I appeal to states that they should use the lockdown as the last resort. Our focus should be micro-containment zones for normal livelihood.”
