In his address to the nation, on 14 April 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made one important promise. He stated that areas or localities, which show positive progress through the course of the lockdown, will be granted a conditional concession to resume essential activities.

1. Consume warm water through the day
2. Consume Chawanprash, turmeric, garlic, cumin and coriander as part of the daily diet
3. Drink herbal teas and turmeric milk
4. Practise yoga and meditation for thirty minutes every day.
