New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said, “India did not wait for the problem to escalate, rather, as soon as the problem appeared, we tried to stop it by taking swift decisions.”
Addressing the nation, he added: ‘I can’t imagine what the situation would have been if such quick decisions were not taken.’
He added: “Even before Covid-19 cases touched 100, India made it compulsory for foreign returnees to remain in 14 days isolation. We imposed 21-day lockdown when we had 550 cases.”
He also said, “Even when India did not have a single corona patient, India had begun screening passengers from Covid-19 affected countries.”
