The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Tuesday commended the Narendra Modi government's "timely and tough" decision to extend the nationwide lockdown till 3 May to ensure efficient containment.

"World Health Organization commends India’s timely and tough actions to stop COVID19. It may be early to talk about results in numbers, but a six-week nationwide lock down to facilitate effective physical distancing, coupled with expansion of core public health measures such as detection, isolation and tracing contact of COVID19 positive people, would go a long way in arresting the virus spread," Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh, Regional Director, WHO, said in a statement.

"In these testing times, the action lies as much with the communities as with the authorities and the health workforce. It is indeed time for each and every one to contribute their best and together beat the virus," she added.

WHO executive director J Ryan had earlier praised  India's tremendous capacity in fighting the Coronavirus.
