Microsoft founder Bill Gates has written to Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi praising his leadership in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, government sources said on today.
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,the Bill Gates said in a letter, according to government sources.
I’m glad your government is fully utilising its exceptional digital capabilities in its COVID-19 response and has launched the Aarogya Setu digital app for coronavirus tracking, contact tracing, and to connect people to health services, it added.
