To deal with COVID-19, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi orders a 21-day lockdown for the world's second most populous country, with 1.3 billion inhabitants. On March 24, 2020, India's prime minister ordered all 1.3 billion people to stay inside their houses for three weeks beginning Wednesday - the largest and most extreme move taken anywhere to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
