Protect yourself and move ahead from coronavirus crisis: PM Modi

New Delhi : PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday addressed the nation and said coronavirus has brought an unprecedented crisis to the nation and we will have to be self-dependent to fight it and move ahead as well.

"This is definitely unimaginable for mankind. This was unprecedented. But humanity will not accept defeat from this virus. We have to not only protect ourselves but also move forward," PM Modi said.

"When the crisis started then not even a single PPE kit was manufactured in India, only a few N95 masks were available. Today 2 Lakh PPE kits and 2 Lakh N95 masks are manufactured in India daily," he said.

PM Modi also urged the people to use home made products and promote them to make them a global brand. He quoted an example of Khadi products how his one request and nation's support changed the fortunes of it.

He said that the world has now passed more than 4 months, coping with corona infection. “During this period more than 42 lakh people from all countries have been infected with Corona. More than 1.75 million people have died tragically,” PM Modi said.
