New Delhi: The total number of COVID-19 positive cases rose to 1024 in the country, said Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Sunday.
“The total number of COVID-19 positive cases rise to 1024 in India including 901 active cases, 96 cured/discharged/migrated people and 27 deaths,” Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on Tuesday announced a 21-day lockdown to stem the spread of COVID-19, which has left thousands dead around the world.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced a special fund, called Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations (PM-CARES) fund, to which citizens can donate some money to aid the government in fighting the pandemic.
At present, the Union Government has been maintaining that there is no evidence that India has entered Stage 3, or the stage of community transmission, even as the country has been placed under a 21-day lockdown to prevent the spread of the virus. The lockdown, however, has seen migrant workers come out in huge numbers, attempting to return to their homes. In the absence of public transport, they have started walking for hundreds of kilometres to reach their destinations.
