Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s latest episode of Mann ki Baat on Sunday will focus on the coronavirus pandemic.
‘Tune in tomorrow at 11 (AM). Tomorrow’s episode will be focused on the situation prevailing due to COVID-19,” Modi tweeted.
The Prime Minister has already addressed the nation on the issue of coronavirus outbreak twice in the last few days. In his address on March 24, he had announced a 21-day nationwide lockdown as part of the government’s stringent efforts to tackle the Covid-19 disease that has infected over 1,000 people and killed 19 in India so far.

The fund has been named PM-CARES or Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund, and PM Modi invited countrymen from all sections to donate to it in a series of tweets.
“People from all walks of life expressed their desire to donate to India’s war against COVID-19. Respecting that spirit, the Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund has been constituted. This will go a long way in creating a healthier India,” Prime minister’s first tweet said.
