PM Modi spoke to a couple of doctors who are busy treating patients with the virus. Dr. Nitesh Gupta, from New Delhi said, "Everyone's mood is upbeat. We are engaged in exactly the same way and like the army battles enemies on the border. Our duty is to get the patient back home after being cured."

Dr. Borse, from Pune, said, "Even if one stays at home, one has to stay quarantined there. Observing a 6 feet distance is mandatory. One has to use a mask and wash hands very frequently. While coughing or sneezing use a simple handkerchief to cough on, so that droplets are not able to spread. When they are supposed to be at home, in quarantine, they are not supposed to leave home at all."
