New Delhi | Jagran News Desk: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that “no stone is left being unturned” to ensure people are healthy, adding that responsible citizens can add strength to fight against the novel coronavirus.

In a series of tweet, the Prime Minister said the government is doing its best to ensure everyone is healthy and those showing symptoms get proper care.

“Our doctors, nurses, healthcare workers are putting great efforts. They are out there, helping people. We will always cherish their contribution,” PM Modi said while retweeting a tweet.

“Many people are highlighting different aspects of how India is combating COVID-19. This is certainly boosting the morale of all those doctors, nurses, municipal workers, airport staff and all other remarkable people at the forefront of fighting COVID-19,” he added.

In another retweet, PM Modi urged people to avoid all non-essential travel, saying that “minimising social outings are welcome steps”.

“It is a united and coordinated response from everyone. This shows the strong spirit of our nation in such situations,” PM Modi said in a tweet.

PM Modi on Sunday also held a video conference with the members of the SAARC nations and proposed the creation of a COVID-19 emergency fund based on voluntary contributions from all the countries, with India making an initial offer of USD 10 million for the fund.

“We are assembling a Rapid Response Team of doctors and specialists in India, along with testing kits and other equipment. They will be on stand-by, to be placed at your disposal, if required,” PM Modi had said.

The coronavirus, which has been declared a pandemic by the WHO, has affected 110 people and claimed the lives of two in India. In wake of the situation, the government has suspended all visas, barring a few categories like diplomatic and employment and urged people to avoid all non-essential travel abroad.
