Speaking on Corona virus, he said that there is no need to panic and believe in any rumours over the spread of this infection. Mr. Modi said that we should greet in the traditional Indian way by saying Namaste which is a scientific way to reduce chances of transmission of infection.
He also urged people to consult doctors in case of any symptoms of fever, cough or sore throat rather than believing in self treatment methods.
