Don't panic, will work together to fight virus: PM Modi

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged people not to panic and "work together" on a day six new suspected coronavirus cases were reported from Uttar Pradesh's Agra.

"There is no need to panic. We need to work together, take small yet important measures to ensure self-protection," Modi tweeted.
