Let me start not with a good morning or good evening, but by sharing the grief of too many of our people, who have lost their friends and family in this unprecedented crisis. I wish that all of us have the courage and strength to deal with this strategy. That is so that is still unfolding.

In this hour of crisis, I just want to say three things. First, we must act with the greatest of speed on all fronts. And these actions must be based on good science. Actions that are not based on science in reality have a detrimental effect on the cause. At the core of the idea of good science is a matter of being willing to accept and confront the truth. So, we must confront this crisis in scale, spread and it's depth truthfully. science and truth are the foundation on which we can tackle this crisis and ensure that it is not repeated.

Second, in this situation, the country must come together as one. We must drop all our differences, understanding that this situation requires unity of action. Together, we are stronger, divided we continue to struggle.

Third, we have to be absolutely focused on the plight of the most vulnerable. As it is, the overall situation is heart breaking. But if you look at the villages and those in poverty. it is not only the pandemic but also the economic effects that are devastating people's lives. All of my actions must give vulnerable the priority as they deserve. And, also we come out of this crisis. We need to restructure our society and economy such that our country does not have this kind of inequity and injustice.

In the end, I can only urge every one of us to come together and do everything we can and more, because the hour demands it. I wish all of you safety and strength.
