5. Develop a clear plan for ensuring the quarantine for contacts
6. Refocus the whole of the Government for #covid related work.

I am also happy that @drtedros used physical distancing as the preferred phrase over #socialdistancing. #Covid19India #covid19

Break the problem into regional and local problems, find the appropriate evidence-based solutions to local problems. @DrMikeRyan

Although this was mentioned wrt #coviditaly ; Something very important to for every country to do #covidindia

The message at the press briefing is loud and clear @WHO @DrTedros @mvankerkhove

#Lockdown is necessary only to buy time, to create a window of opportunity so that corrective measures are taken to contain; detect all cases & isolate and contact tracing for quarantine is done.

"This is the first pandemic which has involved #technology to the fullest potential" says @DrMikeRyan

Can all the #LMICs have access to these technology solutions?

What is the advice of @WHO in #Covid19India?
asks @Ankit_Tyagi01
"Remember what #India for #polioeradication, this is exactly how necessary measures are to be taken," says @DrMikeRyan
@mvankerkhove adds #lockdown can be lifted after a system to detect every case and isolate.

"India is taking early measures," says @drtedros "It has tremendous potential to stop the transmission in the early stage"

I agree, I applaud and I commit for the next phase of the journey towards success.
