Keeping this and the festive season in mind, the centre has advised states to strictly follow the COVID-19 guidelines and take even stricter actions against for the ones violating them. 

Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan has said that COVID-19 appropriate behaviour will be the best solution against fighting the global pandemic and help containing its spread in the country. 

The Prime Minister has addressed the nation on various issues of COVID-19 several times. He has held intense discussions with all CMs and Heads of UTs. His latest address was only for ten minutes but had the important message of continued adherence to COVID-19 appropriate behaviour and its transformation to a Jan Andolan, Vardhan said, during a virtual conference.

He also pointed out that the fatality rate increases to 3.5% in and around Mumbai.

During his interaction with the state Chief Ministers, Vardhan urged them to focus on effective clinical management of the cases to reduce the fatalities in the first 24-72 hours.
