PM Narendra Modi Addressed the nation for the second time in less than a week, as India grapples with the raging coronavirus pandemic, that has now affected 190 contries worldwide.

Here are the highlights from his Tuesday evening address;

• PM thanks nation for sauccess of “janta curfew” on March 22
• The nation came together as one for Janta curfew 
• Coronavorus has stretched the resources of even developed nations
• Social distancing only way to stop coronavirus, please remain within your homes
• Some are under the illusion that social distancing is only for the ones who have the infection
• India will have to pay a very high price if social distancing is not adhered to
• Entire country to be under lockdown from midnight tonight
• Total ban on moving out of homes from midnight tonight, to be enforced more stringently than Janta curfew 
• 21-day lockdown to be enforced in entire country
• 21 days of isolation very necessary to break the chain of coronavorus
• 21 days of lockdown, if not effectively enforced, will push country back by 21 years
• There is an invisible “Lakshmanrekha” at everybody’s door
• Coronavirus affected the first 100,000 people in 67 days, but next 100,000 in just 11 days
• The next 100,000 were infected in just 4 days
• This is enough to understand the rapidity with which thish spreads
• Italy,US with better healthcare infrastructure have struggled to cope with the outbreak
• We need to learn from countries that have somewhat successfully mitigated the crisis
• These countries were able to stem the spread with strict lockdown
• Come what might, we should not leave our homes
• This is true for the villagers in remote regions, and also to the nation’s prime minister
• We are at the crossroads when our decisions will decide how effectively we deal with the situation
• I appeal with folded hands, remain in your homes, and spare a thought for all those people who are braving the odds to keep you safe
• Think of the doctors, paramedics, ambulance drivers who are at the forefront of the fight
• The policeman, those working in the media have to be out working, spare a thought for them
• We have made all efforts to ensure supply of essential goods
• Top priority to be accorded to measures that ensure people’s lives are safe
• Center has allocated Rs 15,000 cr for coronavirus battle
• Isolation wards & beds, ventilators and other arrangements to be made with this amount
• I am happy that the private sector has come forward to the aid of the nation’s people
• Do not take any medication without the advice of doctors
• Improper treatment can seriously endanger your lives
• I am confident that Indian will emerge victorious in this battle
• Take care of yourself, and also of your near and dear ones
