New Delhi: Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi “appeal to all fellow Indians to stay at home, unless urgency and exigencies demand otherwise. Special care needs to be taken of the elderly and children to keep them insulated. This decision to remain at home will restrict the transmission of this virus. All of us must spread awareness that frequent hand washing, not touching the face and reporting all flu and influenza like conditions to medical help line or a doctor needs to be adhered to”.

Sonia Gandhi in a statement on Saturday said, a “Janata curfew” or self-imposed quarantine will be observed on Sunday. It was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to prevent the spread of corona virus. She said that the government seems to have “underutilized our public and private sector capacities” in fighting COVID-19, a disease spread by the highly contagious Novel Corona virus that has consumed several nations within months.

Corona virus cases in India crossed the 300-mark, including four who have died, after 47 people tested positive in the global pandemic in various parts of the country.
