Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday asked people not to believe in rumours on things to do and avoid against coronavirus, which has infected 31 people in the country so far.
“During such times, rumours also spread quickly. Some people say you must not eat this and not do that. Some people come up with four new things, saying that coronavirus can be avoided by eating them. We have to avoid these rumours too,” the Prime Minister said.
“Whatever you do, do it with the advice of your doctor,” he added.
The Prime Minister made the comments during his interaction with people from various Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Janaushadi Pariyojana Kendras through video conferencing.
This includes interactions with store owners and beneficiaries at selected stores across the country, including Guwahati and Dehradun.
“The rest of the people in the family are also more prone to infection and in such a situation they should also undergo necessary tests. Such mates should also wear masks, wear gloves and stay away from others,” he said.
