Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday held discussions with chief ministers and Lt governors of states and Union territories through video conference on ways to check the spread of novel coronavirus as thousands of fresh cases are being reported daily. This is Modi's sixth interaction with the chief ministers since the outbreak of the deadly virus.

Here are the main highlights of what PM Modi said:

Two weeks have passed since the Unlock 1.0, our experience during this time could be beneficial for us in future. Today I will get to know ground reality from you, your suggestions will help in chalking out future strategy.

Timing matters a lot in overcoming any crisis. Timely decisions helped in containing coronavirus spread in India

When India's fight against Covid-19 will be analysed in future, this time will be remembered for how we worked together and served as an example of cooperative federalism

Because of the efforts made in the last few weeks, green shoots have begun to be visible in our economy

 For us the death of even one Indian is unsettling but it is also true that India is one of the countries where there have been least deaths due to Covid-19

To even think of stepping out without a mask or face cover is not right at present. ‘Do gaj ki doori’, hand-washing and use of sanitisers is of utmost importance. With markets opening and people stepping out, these precautions are even more important

The recovery rate has gone above 50% in India

In the last few weeks, thousands of Indians returned to India from abroad and hundreds of migrant workers reached their home towns. Almost all modes of transport have resumed operations, still the impact of Covid-19 has not been that huge in India as in other parts of the world
