Sunday, 26 Apr 2020 11:42 PM MYTNEW DELHI, April 26 — Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Indians to comply with a nationwide lockdown and social distancing measures today, a day after some of the world’s toughest restrictions were eased slightly while cases of Covid-19 continued to mount.
India’s high population density, poor sanitation infrastructure and high rates of internal migration have raised concern over the spread of the virus in a country with 26,496 cases so far of Covid-19, the disease it causes, and 824 deaths. The lockdown, in which domestic and international travel is banned and factories, schools, offices and all shops other than those supplying essential services are shut, is slated to end on May 3, but authorities may extend it.
In the eastern state of Odisha, nearly two dozen fishermen were stopped and quarantined at the coast after they had sailed for five days from the southern coast, an official said.
