The coronavirus pandemic situation in India is very serious and experts are calling for a nationwide lockdown, increased testing among other measure.
The prime minister has also asked Indian public to clap/ring bells/sirens as a salute to the healthcare professionals and other people who are directly involved in fighting the coronavirus pandemic. These people are coming in direct contact with positive cases of COVID-19, and thus their chances of getting infected increase multifold. The PM has fixed 5:00pm time for this salutation during the Janata Curfew.
