''Government is preparing to make the vaccine accessible to every Indian as soon as it is made available,'' Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his over 11-minute-long address.
Mr Modi said it has been observed that people have started taking the COVID-19 casually and violating the protocols.
''Recently, we saw many photos and videos where it is clearly seen people are not careful anymore. This isn't right. If you step out without a mask, you put your families at risk. We must remember - whether it is America or Europe, cases declined and then there was a sudden spike," the Prime Minister warned.
Mr Modi said India is in a better position to tackle COVID-19 as compared to other countries.
''Today, the recovery rate in the country is good. The fatality rate is low. In India, the death rate per million population is 83. On the contrary, in several countries such as the US, UK and Brazil, the number is over 600.
Out of every 10 lakh population in India, 5,500 people are infected, whereas in countries like the US and Brazil this figure is around 25,000. India has been successful in saving the lives of its citizens better than more prosperous countries,'' the Prime Minister stated.
Talking about Covid arrangements, Mr Modi said, ''India has a facility of more than 90 lakh beds for COVID19 patients. There are 12,000 quarantine centres, around 2,000 Corona testing labs. Number of tests will cross 10 crores soon.""In our fight against COVID-19, the rise in the number of tests has been our strength,'' the Prime Minister added.
