In 2020, India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, declared the country's largest-ever self-imposed curfew, dubbed the 'Janata Curfew.' This was done in order to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
In his State of the Union speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi advocates for social distance and announces the formation of the COVID-19 task team to solve economic difficulties. In a televised speech to the nation, the prime minister declared a 'Janata Curfew' from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday, March 22, 2020 to halt the spread of the coronavirus, which has already claimed four lives and infected at least 169 people in the country. "Under the 'Janata Curfew,' no one will leave their homes. It would also prepare us for the next days," PM Modi stated, implying that such isolation campaigns may be necessary in the future to halt the spread of COVID19.
