PM Modi has addressed the nation a number of times since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic last year, offering suggestions to people and outlining measures his government has been taking to deal with the situation.

It is very likely that the Prime Minister will speak on the prevailing coronavirus situation in the country as many states have started the process of unlocking starting from today.

In his previous address on 21 May, the prime minister got emotional during an online interaction with healthcare workers from Varanasi.

On 30 May, PM addressed the nation in his monthly ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio program in which he lauded the efforts of the ‘heroes’ of the COVID-19 pandemic and highlighted individual interventions in the line of duty.
