New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the government is fully vigilant about the situation due to coronavirus and urged people to say “no to panic” and “yes to precautions”.

These steps are wide-ranging, from suspension of visas to augmenting healthcare capacities, he said.

“Say no to panic, say yes to precautions. No minister of the central government will travel abroad in the upcoming days. I urge our countrymen to also avoid non-essential travel,” Modi said.

“We can break the chain of spread and ensure safety of all by avoiding large gatherings,” he said.

The government is fully vigilant about the situation due to COVID-19 novel coronavirus, he added.
