He also said that people displayed unprecedented discipline and a sense of service during the nationwide coronavirus lockdown that started on March 24 for a period of 21 days.

PM said, "In this darkness spread by the coronavirus pandemic, we must continuously progress towards light and hope. We must continuously strive to take those of us most affected, our poor brothers and sisters, from disappointment to hope. We must end the darkness and uncertainty emanating from the crisis, by progressing towards light and certainty.''
