PM Modi also appealed the people to remain at home and do not move from one city to another. The prime minister tweeted that unnecessary travel will not help anyone and remarked that every small effort will leave a big impact in the fight against COVID- 19.

Never forget - precautions not panic!

It’s not only important to be home but also remain in the town/ city where you are. Unnecessary travels will not help you or others.

In these times, every small effort on our part will leave a big impact. #IndiaFightsCorona — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) March 21, 2020

The prime minister noted that people are riuslking their lives by gathering in huge numbers at railways stations and bus stands.
