We commend your leadership: Bill Gates writes to PM Modi about COVID19

In a letter, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates lauded PM Modi’s way to tackle the Coronavirus pandemic.

He also added that he was glad that the Indian government is fully utilising its exceptional digital capabilities in its COVID-19 response and has launched the “Aarogya Setu” app for coronavirus tracking, contact tracing, and to connect people to health services.

“We commend your leadership and the proactive measures you and your government have taken to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 infection rate in India, such as adopting a national lockdown, expanding focused testing to identify hot spots for isolation, quarantining, and care, and significantly increasing health expenditures to strengthen the health system response and promote R&D and digital innovation,” Gates said in the letter, according to officials. 

“Grateful to see that you’re seeking to balance public health imperatives with the need to ensure adequate social protection for all Indians,” Gates added.  

India has so far reported 20,000 plus cases of novel coronavirus infections out of which around 650 people have lost their lives while 3,900 have treated and discharged.
