He further said that social distancing in the only option to combat coronavirus. That is to remain apart from each other. To ensure that each citizen of the
country follow the social distancing, the PM while announcing the lockdown said,

From 12 midnight, entire country will go under complete lockdown. The lockdown will be for 21 days — three weeks. This lockdown is in a way
a curfew and would be more stringent than the Janata curfew. To break the chain of spread, 21 days of lockdown is absolutely necessary. If we
don’t manage these 21 days, the country will be set back by 21 years. Some families will be destroyed forever.

However, he reassured the citizens that the essential services will be running fine and efforts will be made by the government to continue the supply of
necessities.

Another major announcement made by the PM during his address is the allocation of R 15,000 crore for treatment of coronavirus and for strengthening the
public health scenario in the country. He said,

We may have to pay a financial cost for this lockdown but it is important for the safety of people. Be it Italy or the US, they have the best
healthcare. Despite that these countries couldn’t stop the impact. We need to strengthen our public health system.

While concluding his address, PM Modi said that except social distancing, there is no other way to remain safe from corona. He urged everyone to contribute
in breaking the chain of infection by staying at home. He also asked every citizen to pray for those doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, media person,
