Youth should encourage Covid appropriate behaviour, says PM Modi during his address to nation

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on the prevailing Covid-19 situation in the country on Tuesday. This comes soon after PM Modi interacted with top vaccine manufacturers in the country. "I appeal to the people to come forward and help the needy to overcome this battle against Covid-19. I appeal to the youth to make small committees in their localities to spread awareness about Covid-appropriate behaviour," PM Modi said.

He also said that the situation that was in 2020 was very different from the present situation. "Back then we did not have any Covid-19 specific treatment or medicines. Testing capacity was limited. But we have come a long way from that in a very short time," he added.

PM Modi's address to the nation on Covid-19 comes at a time when India is seeing an exponential spike in its Covid-19 cases, while deaths too are increasing.
