Coronaviruses infect animals, humans, and birds. Human coronaviruses, such as SARS, MERS, and 2019-nCoV cause respiratory distress and even death. The S protein is the infectious agent of the virus.

‘In his brief address, PM said those not following social distancing norms during the coronavirus pandemic should be made aware of the problem.’

Earlier, Modi said, people were more careful about the use of masks, washing hands for more than 20 seconds several times during the day, and maintaining 'do tandoori'. "Regulations need to be followed with the same seriousness as during lockdown, especially in the containment zones," Modi said.

The Prime Minister said the 'Unlock 2' coincided with the weather, which caused several ailments.

Asking people to take care of their health, Modi said that due to timely decisions, like lockdown, lakhs of lives could be saved, and the country's death rate was amongst the lowest in the world.
