Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said India will not have to wait too long for the COVID-19 vaccine as he warned people to be cautious of the coronavirus and follow all the precautions to prevent themselves from getting infected. 

Speaking at the inauguration of the construction of the Agra Metro project via video conferencing, Modi said,  “One thing, which I will definitely remind you is that the wait for a vaccine is on but in the past few days, I have met scientists, and feel that the country will not have to wait too long for it.

“However, there should be no laxity from our side as far as prevention of the infection is concerned. Masks and a distance of two yards is very necessary,” the PM said.
