We have to avoid corona and also move forward
PM Modi said that we have to avoid corona and also move forward. He said that such a big disaster has brought a message and an opportunity for India. He said that I want to say with an example that when the Corona crisis started, there was not a single PPE kit made in India nor the N95 mask was produced. But today the situation is that 2 lakh PPE and 2 lakh N-95 masks are being made in India every day. We are able to do this because we have turned disaster into an opportunity.
