Delhi Police Commissioner SN Shrivastava appealed to the people to follow ‘five simple mantras’ to eradicate COVID-19 from India on April 1.

The five mantras are, self-isolation, social distancing, self-hygiene, self-quarantine and cooperation with all health officials, reported NDTV.

‘I would like to reach out to every citizen of India to unite as a member of humanity to face the most serious challenge faced by modern civilization today. History teaches us that societies survive if they make the right choices at the right time in the right direction,’ Shrivastava wrote on Twitter.
