Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi successfully fought the battle against COVID-19 and managed to bring the disease curve down with the help of 135 crore citizens.
“Now, the cases are dipping, the number of patients is decreasing. The oxygen requirement has come down to 3,500 MT from 10,000 MT. This indicates that the COVID-19 curve is going down,” Amit Shah said.
He also said the speed of India’s vaccination drive is the fastest in the world and it will further gain momentum in future to cover maximum number of people in the shortest possible time, as envisioned by the PM.
Shah said the government succeeded in controlling the spread of the virus and bringing the curve down through collective efforts.
“As you might have seen in media (reports), even highly developed countries struggled to tackle the pandemic.
On the other side, we fought the battle with patience and planning,” he said.
He said in other countries, only governments were fighting against the coronavirus.
Meanwhile, India recorded 132,364 cases of the coronavirus disease in the last 24 hours, taking the nationwide infection tally to 28,574,350, according to the data from the Union ministry of health and family welfare (MoHFW), updated at 8am on Friday.,while deaths rose by 2,713.
