WHO hails Modi’s ‘janata curfew’ initiative

“Along with hand-hygiene, coughing and sneezing in one’s sleeves prevents transmission. These measures, together Awith social distancing can be effective in containing transmission. Even as we maintain social distancing, it is equally vital to stand together in solidarity to overcome this challenge,” Bekedam added.
