States must ensure the labourers stay where they are. They will get vaccinated and also ensure that they continue to get work
Unlike last year, we did not have medical infrastructure to deal with COVID. We did not have PPE production, we did not have enough knowledge. But within a short span of time, we made improvements. Today, our doctors have gained excellent expertise on the subject
Today, we have a big PPE network and improving testing facilities
Credit for fighting CORONA goes to all citizens

Today, we are seeing so many organizations working day and night to help everyone. I salute these people and request citizens to come forward to help those in need.
I request the youth of the country to form a small committee to help implement COVID protocols. That way we will nto need containment zones, curfew and lockdown situation won’t even arise.
Teenagers had last year created a lot of awareness: I request my Baal mitra to ensure that unless there is work, do not step out of the house. I request advertisers to help spread awareness
We should work towards reducing fear among people. People must not fall prey to rumours.
We must save ourselves from lockdown. It should only be seen as a final option and avoided at all costs.
In these tough times, we must follow all precautions to ensure that we take all steps to avoid being lax.
We must learn from the month of Ramzan which teaches us patience and discipline.
Step out only if necessary. I assure that with your support, we will work hard to ensure that we overcome this situation: PM Modi
