Addressing the nation over Covid-19 crisis, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday said that the lockdown may have been lifted in the country but warned saying that the “virus is still out there” This was PM Narendra Modi's seventh address to the nation since the Covid-19 pandemic's outbreak.

Here are the highlights of PM Narendra Modi's address to the nation:

“In this festive season, markets are bright again but we need to remember that the lockdown might have ended but Covid-19 still persists. With efforts of every Indian over last 7-8 months, India is in a stable situation we must not let it deteriorate,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said.

“Many people have stopped taking precautions now. This is not right. If you are careless, walking out without a mask, then you are putting yourself, your family, your family’s children, the elderly in as much trouble,” he added.

"Today the recovery rate in the country is good, the fatality rate is low. India is succeeding in saving the lives of more of its citizens than the resource-rich countries of the world. The growing number of tests has been a major strength in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic," said Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Speaking about the resumption of economic activities during the Covid-19 pandemic, PM Modi said, "Economic activities are also increasing rapidly over time. Most of us are stepping out of our homes every day to fulfil our responsibilities, to speed up life again. This season of festivals is also slowly returning spark and light to the markets."

Reminding citizens about the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, PM Modi said. "But we should not forget that while the lockdown has gone, the virus has not. In the past 7-8 months, India has managed to stabilise due to the efforts of every single Indian. We must not let the situation deteriorate again."

"If you are careless, leaving your home without a mask, you are putting yourself, your family, your children and the elderly in danger," PM Modi warned.

PM Modi said in his speech, "After many years, work is being done on a war footing to save mankind. Several countries are working on this. Even Indian scientists are working hard to produce a Covid vaccine. Work is being done on several Covid vaccines in India. Some of these are even in advanced stages of trials."

PM Modi: The government is also working to ensure that whenever the Covid vaccine comes, it reaches all Indians as quickly as possible.
