Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the country on Thursday (March 19) and informed them of the curfew set for Sunday, March 22 amid theꦦ deadly COVID-19 outbreak. The 69-year-old even requested every citizen in the country to show their 🐼appreciation to the people who have tirelessly worked through these trying times by stepping out to clap and create a roar of noise in unison at 5 pm.
