Speaking about the present condition regarding Covid, PM Modi said, “We are seeing that Covid cases are rising in many countries in the world. We need to remain careful & wear masks & wash our hands.”
He further advised people to celebrate festivals with caution. He said, “Enjoy these festivals a lot but be a little cautious too. If we are careful, then we will also be safe and there will be no hindrance to our enjoyment. With this, once again many best wishes to all of you.”
The central government has stepped up measures against the virus, with the cases on a rise, especially in China where the lifting of the zero-Covid policy has caused a spread of the pandemic.
PM Narendra Modi has also chaired meetings and his government has written to the states to put in place adequate measures to deal with any spurt.
The prime minister also said the outgoing year, 2022, has been inspirational to India in many ways.
